In theory February is a winter month. But it happened many times to get spring temperatures. My brother who can't stand heat woved that if he ever gets married it will be in winter time. His wedding was on a February 18 day and there were 20°C and we left the coates home. Same thing happened also on the wedding day of a coworker. So I don't find it weird that it's been a warm month.
Have you ever seen a thief in action?

Yes. I had moved into a new flat in Porto on the 4th floor. On the day I moved in I was on the balcony looking at the view when a woman on the plaza below had her bag snatched and the thief got away in an accomplice's car. I couldn't even get the number as it was too far away.

Living in NZ I have to say I don't have the faintest idea.
Does the UK benefit from being in the EU?

I think we will vote to stay in.
Unless the various "We want out" organisations stop fighting with each other. When we joined we had a choice to stay out and be driven into becomimg a 51st US State economically, and to an extent politically, or to formalise the relationship with our largest trading partners, Europe, by joining the EU. When we joined the EU we had to sever the trade links and trade treaties with the Commonwealth and it would be impossible to re-establish these now as we inevitably alienated the main countries, the "Old Commonwealth". We currently suffer from the tabloid press making headline news of negative issues and distorting the facts while at the same time ignoring the positive aspects.
Do you think we should stay in or leave?Duncan Rollo

Tough question. I am a bit on the fence. I am trying to see to the real issues, but the media make it all about which personality wants this or that and is against who.
I am and will continue to listen to all sides before deciding. I can see various pros and cons each way.
Do you use a calculator for easy maths or do you favour working your brain?I still exist and still find the forum occasionally. Busy busy

I do not use the calculator for arithmetic unless I need an exact number right away.
Do you think school kids these days use the calci too much?

Yes I think so. I guess like you say Storm, once you get to an advanced level its OK, but learning arithmetic is far better for basic Maths.

There were a few terrible winters when due to the glazed frost the streets became a sort of rink. The bus drivers lost direction and the buses were whirling.
Then there were times when buses were so crowded that they traveled with open doors and people hanging on the stairs. Traveling by bus/tram was a sort of extreme sport - a national one. I had to travel on the last step of the bus a few times and it was really scary.
If you know what I mean:
What's the first item you'd take with you on a trip?

depends on what the trip is for and where I am going. Short trip is coffee in a thermal mug. Big trip possibly one of my guitars or banjo.
