Perhaps a phone call to mother nature will help? Maybe a ‘zoom’ call with braindead(I meant branDUHn) and grrrrreta and albore and......

For the months of January and February, 1986, I lived in an abandoned saw mill in Germany, while on a REFORGER mission.

Our only heat was Herman Nelson hot air generators, powered by propane. (Or oil? I don't remember). Long tubes ran up the staircases on one side, moving hot air to the upper floors.

The generators were so noisy you could hardly hear yourself THINK, let alone sleep - and we worked/slept in shifts.

Good Times! :) Thank God and Uncle Sam for sub-zero 'Bunny Boots!'

If you were lucky enough to have 'Fine Barracks Accommodations' in the Army, the FIRST thing you learned as a Private was how to fire up the coal-heated boilers so you had hot water and some heat. Also, Good Times! :)

People now days are soft. SOFT, I say! ;)

Hit your local Army Surplus for some Bunny Boots. Good to -60, Baby!

Last I checked the UK was no longer in the EU and is therefore not relevant to the issue.

The UK is still in Europe. Why isn't it relative given the title of this thread, Winter of Discontent: ‘Social Unrest’ Possible If Europe Sees a Cold Winter – IMF?

Some signs of populism are appearing but the EU is going after Hungary now. You would think it has better, more constructive things to focus on.

Orban speaks the truth. The Russian sanctions are hurting Europe more than Russia.

“The Germans are doing something similar as they are restarting coal plants and delaying closing nuclear plants.”

Apparently not the case regarding the nukes in the past few days - the last three still go off-line at the end of the year.

Maybe if you lived in CA or NY, you may remember them.

Twelve miles from the CA border. 😂. NevaDUH did do quite a bit of it as well. A lot of folks ignored it. Businesses complied under duress. You know. Comply or license/permits denied.

Geographically it is part of Europe. Not withstanding its historical ties to the rest of Europe the UK is generally seen as apart from the mainland with respect to politics and economics — a concept pretty much underlined by BREXIT.

The UK it taking a more proactive stance on energy and therefore will probably avoid some of the pain the countries across the Channel will be facing.
