According to the BBC's Teletext service I see that the majority of Britain tonight is suffering sub-zero temperatures. At this time, in Degrees C., Manchester is -6, Birmingham is -5, and even the usually milder London is -2. In fact looking at the updated refresh they are now all minus figures! Add to this there's still a solid wind blowing from an easterly direction.
Spare a thought for the people in Inverness, Scotland - their daytime temperature today was -2C at best, it's now -10! Yes they're now suffering in a temperature of just Fourteen Degrees Fahrenheit.!
'That's cold - especially for Britain!'

It went even lower!
On the 01:00 report Inverness was minus 11 degrees C, or just 12 degrees F.
It could be worse; not much, but it could be!
Look on the bright side, if you were in Australia you could be sunbathing on the beach and eating your left over cold-turkey sandwiches, washed down with ice-cold Fosters whilest watching the smoke from the forest fires drifting lazily across the sky. . . .
"ice-cold Fosters", isn't that the canned Australian lager that removes all feeling from the lower waist down and refuses to allow the legs to support the upper frame of the body??
"cold-turkey" - never suffered it - me Mam would've killed me!! But cold chicken and stuffin' sarnie's, in't' fresh Lancashir' barm's wir't bu'er - now you're talking!!
