White Crimbo...

[Smiffy]

So what do we all reckon? Anyone taken the odds of around 4 or 5's for ONE yes ONE flake of snow to fall on the BBC Weather Centre?!....

Me personally i dont think it will snow on christmas day, BUT my sources indicate it could in the week leading up to the big day itself, so we could have snow lying on crimbo day!!.

I used to enjoy the White Christmases of my youth, huge piles of the 'white stuff' does make those parties go with a bang!

Doesn't happen any more though now I've (supposedly) grown up..........

It wont happen, never has in my life time and I'm not expecting it to either. It normally ends up "too cold to snow".

I'd love a white Christmas but I can't see it myself.

Are you 2 years old? According to the met office, the last white christmas was 2001.

I aint having that. I was watching the weather yesterday when they particulary dismissed the chance of it being a white christmas claiming that the last one was very early 80's and the one before that was in the 30's.

A white crimbo these days means one flake of snow falling on the bbc weather centre in London! Which was indeed in 2001. If youre talking about snow covering the ground on crimbo day then yes it was a long long time ago...

It hasn't even rained much lately so i'd doubt it ...

As Smiffy says, it's all in the definition.

Well, enjoying a White Christmas is all about 'supply' and 'demand' Naps, which is of course a capitalist ideal.

It's been so long that nowadays I wouldn't know where to get the 'supply' and because I'm now a respectable pillar of the community I know longer have the 'demand'.

Latest odds down from 7-1 to 5-2 for a white crimbo in London. Maybe the bookies no something??....

Or just being tight c**ts with the odds. The odds would have to be at least 10's to even be interested ...
