If you are in a restaurant you are paying them for service, not a lesson in linguistics. I'm somewhat surprised, actually. Perhaps that is more the norm in northern France - it wouldn't be tolerated down here. I've walked out of more restaurants than I've had hot dinners! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

nonnaB 4,895 Posted July 2, 2018 Report Share Posted July 2, 2018 32 c here and getting hotter.got into my car the other day and temperature was 38 c. After driving a while it was down to 35. C Until the pool is ready I'm staying in. Its being filled now but still a while to finish. It still looks like a building site. It should take 3-4 days to fill it, hopefully less.

NewBasfordlad 3,599 Posted July 2, 2018 Report Share Posted July 2, 2018 Great news from Thailand, the two Brit divers have found the kids and their coach and all are alive. Now they just have to get them out and that will be a job and a half.......... 3 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,108 Posted July 2, 2018 Report Share Posted July 2, 2018 It will be if the monsoons arrive sooner than expected. At least they're still alive ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jonab 1,644 Posted July 3, 2018 Report Share Posted July 3, 2018 The real question about this Thai situation is why were they down there in the first place? The monsoon season was (is) imminent and I understand there had already been some bad weather in the area. The people who organised this near tragedy should be held fully responsible.

I’ve run out of things to wash and dry outside, being a mean bu99er I don’t like using the tumble-drier. If my husband stands still for too long I’ll shove him in the washing machine. I have a problem though that psychologically I feel I’m on holiday when the temperature soars and I don’t want to do the normal day-to-day chores. It’s wrong (and unfair) to go off walking with the dog so I’ll just have to stay in holiday mode and sit in the garden with a ‘small’ glass of Pinot Grigio. This long hot spell has brought back memories of 1976, I was very pregnant at the time! Ha!! You must be like me Lizzie. Any excuse not to waste a bit of sunshine. I've been outside most of the day everyday. I do have to pace myself in the garden these days though, so I have to lie flat either way up for half of each hour. Tedious..but one must look after oneself. : ) 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

As an ex caver I can understand what they've been through. In this country it's doubtful they'd have survived due to cold. I can't comment on the wisdom of the trip as I don't know the local conditions, but if anyone was careless they should be brought to book. Situations like this always remind me of two tragedies. The first is when Neil Moss died in 1959 Peak Cavern in Derbyshire after becoming exhausted in a tight descending passage. He was exploring a new extension and was basically just very unlucky. These days better rescue techniques would probably have saved him. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neil_Moss_(caver) The other was when six Cavers died in Mossdale Caverns in Yorkshire in 1967. They were surveying the very furthest reaches of a shallow, but long system of caves, which was known to be prone to flooding. A calculated risk in settled weather. Unfortunately, after weeks of dry weather.. a completely unforcast cloudburst filled the cave, giving them no chance. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/this-britain/what-lies-beneath-mossdale-caving-disaster-794268.html I always took the view that I wouldn't go into any cave known to 'fill to the roof' unless and until I had first explored all the caves which didn't, which was unlikely to ever happen due to the sheer number of caves in British limestone areas. (thousands..) Even then I had a few hairy moments in caves which became what is euphemistically known as 'sporting when wet'. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

NewBasfordlad 3,599 Posted July 3, 2018 Report Share Posted July 3, 2018 It was the death of Neil Moss that led to the formation of the DCRO so some good came out of that tragedy. I was on Mossdale in 67, volunteers from DCRO travelled up there. I was not underground but surface support on that one, just not experienced enough to go underground. As an aside I read that Bill Whitehouse whom you know has been awarded an MBE for his years given to the CRO. I was in Eldon PC with Bill back in the 60s and bugger me he is still going although in an admin role. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
