For those with dodgy air con.

It's probably the wrong end of the summer to tell you guys this, but amongst my plethora of cars, all air conditioned, I have one (the one I prefer to drive the most naturally) that has a rotten gas leak on the discharge port at the compressor. I have a mate I can borrow the gear off/get him to do it and pay in beer type of arrangement and recently it has hit u to 40 degrees out here. (I know it sounds impossible for early spring, but it is happening) so I do a bit of a dodgy just to get me through and ask for a top up and get told that "there's a supposed worldwide shortage on 134a at present and they don't know when it will end. Question is, when it ends what will the price be?"
So the moral of the story is, if your winter is looking like ours was this year, non existent, and/or you need to get some work done on the air-con, the present might be the best time to get it done.

It's been 18 to 20 Deg C over here the last few days (sweltering for us Yorkshire folk) and not much lower overnight.

We should be looking for the first snowflakes by now.

It is unseasonably warm at the moment in the UK... and we're having months of rainfall in one night (well, they are up north anyway)

Red sky at night, Shepherds delight.

Sheep drowned in morning, Global warming.

Red sky at night, Brixton's alight.
