Not being born of 'Dorset Stock' (part surrey, part hampshire, only born in Dorset.) I am afraid i cant oblige on local dialect. Sure when i talk i have an accent but cant type in it! Would have to look up William Barnes or Thomas Hardy for that

Would someone like to start a new thread so we can try and 'guess the dialect' ?

Back on topic, woke up to about 5 mm of snow this morning. Most of it has melted now though.

Still snowing in East Sussex, they closed the kids school yesterday, much to most parents annoyance! By lunchtime it had mostly melted and the sun was out! (really annoyed parents at this point!!!) But as I type this we have a few cm's on the ground and more falling, and the kids are still in school! HURRAH!!

Yellow Petals · « **Reply #27 on:** February 24, 2005, 17:42:34 »

and you'll all be sent to your corners to write out one hundred times "I must not thread wander"

Garden Manager · « **Reply #28 on:** February 24, 2005, 17:57:06 »

Anyway back on topic.

Weather here in Dorchester:

Overcast, relatively mild and trying to rain. No sign of this snow they were 'promising' for us.

Mind you that could change as darkness falls and it gets colder.

If/When the snow does arrive. I'll make sure i send it on down to Weymouthshire then! LOL

There is actualy a thread for dialects now. no need to go off topic on this one.

Beleive me if this forum were like another one I am member of we wouldnt be discussing it. The Moderators would've locked the thread long ago!

Yellow Petals · « **Reply #33 on:** February 24, 2005, 23:35:27 »

Behave yourselves you lot else you'll all be in detention!

Yellow Petals · « **Reply #34 on:** February 24, 2005, 23:36:46 »

Here there's a nice covering of snow once again (Essex) although I doubt it will last too long. We've had lots of snow showers but it hasn't stayed settled for long periods at all.

NattyEm · « **Reply #35 on:** February 25, 2005, 08:33:59 »

If it looks like it might snow I'll have to go sit up Hardys Monument to get the full benefit!

And in a chit chat section of the site like this going off topic doesn't really matter (imo) but I agree on the other allotment relevant parts its annoying if you're searching threads if they don't actually talk about the title, or you miss out on something because its changed topic and you havent read all the posts. (unless you're like me and read everything!!)

Mothy · « **Reply #36 on:** February 25, 2005, 09:10:02 »

Snowing like mad and settling here at the mo (Leicester)!! Makes yer laff doesn't it, if it snows the media hype it up to panic stations and if we have a mild winter they do the same 'cos of global warming!! ???

It has been snowing all night here in London and hasfinally settled. t=The girls rushed out to build a (very small) snowman this morning before setting off for school. Doesn't look like conducive weather for allotmenteering this weekend and I was going to get my raspberries in:'(

Svea · « **Reply #38 on:** February 25, 2005, 10:31:55 »

i need to dig over two sections of my plot where there has been a path for the last couple of years - i rearranged the layout to a 'small bed system' and this got in the way. not a worry, but i could do with at least the ground not being frozen. that would help.
still havent planted my garlic, either :( - and will see how my spinach /beet spinach (how does one tell the difference?) that i have inherited from the previous lottie holder has survived and whether it can be used. maybe i should have put the mini-cloches over it before the snow started.....

Yes but Dan is a very cool man that is why we are here not there. Calm down Richard take a deep breath, stop worrying about such trivial things in life. If Dan isn't happy he will do what needs doing so chill man.
