The illogical and bizarre statements that people make

A local shop once put a sign on the door when they went on holiday. "Back next Thursday"
Which was ok till it got Monday the following week.

I once got lectured on the importance of wearing a h*lm*t by a cyclist riding on the traffic side of me with his arms folded.

Not really. Antarctica gets so little snowfall that it's considered a desert.

i think that's just a specific part of Antarctica?

I'm afraid that's beyond the limit of my knowledge of useless trivia...

Just like those signs that show "Back in 30 minutes" or "Open Tomorrow ".

I trust you replied with the customary "f*** off you t***"?

No, I let him go on as we accelerated (down an empty, dry, and straight) road then shouted "Look out!" and braked hard.

He was 50 metres away and all over the road before he came to a stop, which rather made my point.

My mum to much younger me, get down off that, if you fall off and break your leg don’t come running to me!

That'll be the McMurdo dry valleys in Antarctica. The driest places on earth

Anyhoo...there is some fact in the saying "it's too cold to snow", in the UK at least

Coldest weather in UK occurs in anticyclonic conditions ie. cloudless nights. Obviously it doesn't snow as there are no clouds. Most snowfall occurs when temp is only just below freezing as there must be cloud cover which stops the temperature falling too far

It`s that fine rain that soaks everything.....

Doesn`t it all??

Yes all rain soaks everything, but there is a fine rain; actually it's more like a mist that really drenches you right through.

Yes, it gets in places rain doesn't usually get to
