The Cooling Effect

Winter seems to have a cooling effect on a great many things.

There are shorter days so less daylight to get things done in.

Housebuilding slows down, roadworks slow down, the rain comes down and slows things down even more.

Rain slows the traffic down (hopefully) so everyone gets home safe after work and arrives at work safely in the dark mornings.

Winter needs your co-operation too.

Sweep up your leaves, prepare your garden for winter. Find your gloves, make sure you have your ice scraper in the car as no longer do we have old casette or CD boxes in our car. Scraping the ice off with your MP3 player or USB stick would be silly.

Wrap up warm, take your winter soup and vitamins.

Get your hat on, the heat lost from your head is significant, thermal underwear helps sloy heat loss when it's windy, get a windproof jacket on top, sometimes easier than just piling on layers.

Have a warm pie in the evenings.

Less Aircraft on an Aircraft Carrier? WTF

Why spend £BN's on making an Aircraft carrier and putting less aircraft on it.

The whole point of it is to deliver the PAYLOAD (Heavy Aircraft) into theatre.

It's like having a smaller magazine in a machine gun. Daft!

And yet more money is spent in Atomic Weapons, which will never be used.
