Weather

well, it's unfortunately due to the Azores high pressure which has been giving us such great weather being shunted out of the way by a vicious depression rolling in off the Atlantic. The storm will drag cold air from the Arctic Circle too, making it seem more like winter than May. This isn't certain however, we could just eke out Sunday in warmish weather.

Yes, it's nothing to freak out about yet.

The weather lately has been classicly unpredictable.

Someone give that man a job presenting the weather on BBC news!!!! :D

I'm a no for the BBQ now :(

Vix not because of the weather surely?

What time does everything kick off 540?

Sorry to hear that ViX, but having looked into what it took to get out to Manchester by train on that day, I completely understand your quandary!

Sorry you won't be able to make it.

Not the weather P, I was having transport issues. Getting from Liverpool/ Northampton to Mr and Mrs 540s house takes a stupid amount of time with a ridiculous number of changes.

Geo - public transport certainly provides a good chunk of the nations quandaries =/

It will all change by tomorrow!

ah bum. if wet, in pub?

lol - yes, how come?

. . . and I was making ice-cream :-(

If your weather people are as accurate as ours, it will be warm and sunny on Sunday. ;) Fingers crossed for you all.

Vix - That's a shame, it would've been great to meet you :(

Maybe next time?

Guys, no worries, if it's wet we can still do the bbq with an umbrella and everyone can move indoors, or if all else fails, like mf says the pub!!

Sprocket - Don't not make it because of the weather forecast. Rain or shine, I'm looking forward to trying it :)

ViX, what about travelling into and out of London instead of trying to get across country? My last job in Leicester was working for Traveline, and I know what a pain it is to try and travel through the midlands in anything but a southernly direction.
540 and SLG, have a great BBQ, wish we could be there, and sometime in the future we will be!

I'm counting on it at some point hobo!!

I'll make sure a glass or few get raised for you all :)

Would have been great to be there and meet everyone 540! :(

P - train fares were creeping up to £50 and I can't quite stretch that far on my unemployed post student bank account :(

There'll be plenty more times for sure :)

How flippin' typical is that??
Pffff
;-(
I'm sure it'll be all the more fun for it anyway.
