Who says the Germans don't have a GSOH? :)
Thanks, very amusing.
On Corbyn's more Bank Holidays. If I were forced to agree on another BH:
I nominate Battle of Britain day: 15 September. Weather usually still pleasant and a gap since last BH and next (Christmas). A bonus is it would annoy the Germans and we’d mention the war.
@SandyS Whatever it was, it's your fault

Re gardening and weather, I was only thinking today that less than a year ago I had a 3 hour detour on my way home due to flooding caused by a long period of heavy rain. This week when I did some gardening the soil was very dry due to a prolonged period of low rainfall. I put it down to weather, others may have more complex explanations.
Who watched the Green dreamers Party Election Broadcast ?
Full emotional blackmail, black and white film, Sad piano music
"Oh this world is sad , the Conservatives are horrible people (they don't help refugees, cut renewables !)

Harry Passfield. When will people distinguish between the BBC making its own reports and the BBC rewriting reports from other sources? In the instance you sight it was not Shukman who found the woman who had studied a tree; instead it was the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) who did the study and Shukman was merely paraphrasing it. Typical cut and paste job.
Shukman, BBC news - "violent rain"
Makes it up to justify his prejudices.
