Temporary bans on diesel vehicles have been ordered in major Italian cities, including the capital, Rome, in an effort to reduce the pollution.

Not surprised, Rome was very polluted back in the 1980's  DAVE.

I was wondering why we are getting gales and they are not. Perhaps they also need to leave the EU . . . ? Everyone can spread it - Anyone can catch it. Stay home - the life you save can be your own!

The UK gets gales from the Atlantic weather, Rome gets its weather from the African continent dry and warm plus southern europe and west south Asia none of which are particularly violent but can get freezing weather from northen Siberia, the Uk can get four weather directions but Italy only three and mostly non violent. Where weather is concerned islands fare the worse continental land masses fare the best. my PC is slightly to the right of Genghis

Please, not even in jest, or it may well appear as “fact” in tomorrow’s Daily Mail

More likely to be in the Express - regular provider of false extreme weather predictions



I think Brendan topped out at a good bit less than 150mph Jules

Thought Id recheck before I get roasted by the meteorologists on here

"the strongest gust recorded during Storm Brendan reached 121mph at Cairngorm National Park"

It was 70-80 mph for other windy places. Jules

You can always rely on the Daily Express to tell us we are all doomed.

Every week they have been saying we will be buried in snow and it will be the coldest winter since life began.

It has been the warmest winter ever so far.

The need to sell newspapers is getting desperate!

Most journo's get their MPH and KPH confused. it's the new education system developed in the 60's, if you want it to be a large number use metric, if dumming down use imperial  my PC is slightly to the right of Genghis

Just like teaching your wife to read a tape measure.
Inches or millimetres... 94 Disco 300 TDI Gone
96 Defender 300 TDI Gone...Should have kept it.
2003 Freelander ES TD4 Gone
2002 Defender TD5 Gone
2005 Freelander HSE TD4 Gone
2015 Freelander 2 Metropolis Keeping for now!

So much more dangerous when it is milligrammes and microgrammes - folk have been killed that way. Everyone can spread it - Anyone can catch it. Stay home - the life you save can be your own!
