we're going on Friday

Ugghhhhhhhhh

Sadly a passenger has died after extreme turbulence on a flight from Heathrow to Singapore.

You’ll be delighted to discover that it’s already been blamed on….climate change!

Quick, ban cars!
(But not aircraft, obviously)

In these "Frankin's Days' beware late and destructive frosts, thunder, and unreliable weather.

According to a Devon legend, the sharp frosts which sometimes occur about this time are the revenge of one Frankin, a Beer brwer, put out of business by competition from Cider. He therefore vowed his soul to the Devil in return for frosts on each of three 'Frankin's Days' around May 21st, hoping that these would kill the apple blossom and ruin the Cider crop.

May weather is consider too unreliable for shorn sheep, which may take cold and die; and thunder this month presages a poor Summer and a bad harvest.

Shear your sheep in May
you'll shear them all away.

Thunder in May
frightens Summer away!

Now that we know the truth…

Who’s going to prison?

Perfectly reasonable, totally proportionate, and very necessary measures.
