    Pip,was that snow in June in the 1980's? because if it was we went to London for the day and when we were coming home on the coach it was like a blizzard :eek:

    A lady who Mr Kandy used to work withwas on one of the boats on the Thames for a birthday party celebration and they were all in summer clothes so it was unexpected.Another lady one year went to Eygpt for a holiday and was shocked to wake up the day after arrival to snow.They had only taken summer clothes so were caught out good and proper.Not sure if it was all a wind up though [​IMG] :D
