Make the most of it ,the Atlantic current that bathes the UK with warm seas during winter apparently is close to collapse. Should that happen our winters will be very cold and harsh almost Siberian. The UK housing stock just wont cope with this type of winter as all our water pipes and drainage are too close to the surface and will freeze.
Not to mention how thermally inefficient much of the older houses are.
That was the opening article that I posted John

If we didn't inject a little humour this would not be a Brit site would it ?
