Jeess and I thought this topic was about how weird the weather
patterns are, and not Barking in East London!!


Barking is in Essex But is near the becton alp.


Is there still an alp there? Any signs of anyone putting it to use?

Not a chance. We are being battered by 100mph winds. Any snow will be
blown off faster than a snowboarder in a gay bar.

I just saw the news - no snow for Scotland then (and none here for a week or
so either).
