You would not like it.Its just like your rain and overcast days,you get brassed off with too much rain and by the same token we get brassed off with too much sun.It might sound silly to you,but,think about it,we had only our second day of rain today ( thats the second time its rained here since September ) Sun,day after day after day for months on end you get sick of it and long for a overcaste day/rain.yesterday when it rained I sat out in the pergola and enjoyed watching it and the birds playing in the rain.In a climate like ours you look foreward to that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisp65 Posted April 1, 2023 Share Posted April 1, 2023 We’ve had triple the average rain for March here. But today it’s warm and sunny. You can feel the heat in the sunshine now. All the trees are springing back in to life, pond is full of frog spawn and the green house full of whatever I dunno its not my space but lots of green shoots of stuff. Got to be close to the ideal climate / environment. We just need to convince those in positions of power that shit, farm slurry and sanitary pads in the rivers might be spoiling it a bit and we would truly be blessed.

mjmooney Posted April 11, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted April 11, 2023 May as well follow it with that famous (and probably apocryphal) old chestnut: Welshman are prohibited from entering Chester before the sun rises and have to leave before the sun goes down. Because of this, in Chester, it is technically ok to shoot a Welshman after midnight on Sunday with a crossbow, as long as it's in the city walls.

The Welsh were allowed into the city during the day for trade. The city guard could shoot an unidentified person trying to break into the city walls during darkness. Those 2 things have been merged into one "law". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VILLAMARV Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 AFAIK the source of this 'old chestnut' is a letter from HenryV (Then Prince Henry and Earl of Chester) after the battle of Shrewsbury to the Sheriff of Chester requesting said restrictions of Welshness - but there's no proof of it ever actually being a 'law'. Shrewsbury and Hereford have their own versions in folklore (this side of the welsh bridge in Shrewsbury and in the Cathedral grounds in Hereford) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he was trying to get out of a mates stag do in Chester and came up with the letter to get out of it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VILLAMARV Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 This was the plan, the Tripartite Indenture. Quote The agreement defined Glyndŵr's borders as follows: The whole of Cambria or Wales divided from Leogria now commonly called England by the following borders, limits and bounds: From the Severn estuary as the River Severn flows from the sea as far as the northern gate of the city of Worcester; From that gate directly to the ash trees known in Cambrian or Welsh language as Onennau Meigion which grow on the high road from Bridgnorth to Kinver; Then directly along the highway, popularly known as the old or ancient road, to the head or source of the River Trent; Thence to the head or source of the river commonly known as the Mersey and so along that river to the sea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
