But do understand that French authorities are attempting to improve conditions a little in the jungle, which again as compassionate people we must all support. Long term solution would seem to be to admit these refugees in Calais into UK, then close these camps down. Now would seem to a good time as many Brits in Spain with their motorvans so space and sevices now available to settle them in before they return!

You could go off in your van, and stay on aires , so that they can have a home? Just how many are refugees?? Strange nearly all young men. Years ago refugees where whole families Even Mrs Merkel has seen the error of her ways, by letting them in.

That said perhaps not too far of track in some ways as clearly a frosty reception to some of our points! But no more, other than to report no snow on ground here in Newark, just very cold but nice and warm in van. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek Uzzell Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 My house has a 25-mile view across open country to Hay Bluff https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hay_Bluff and, on a clear day, the tops of the higher Brecon Beacons 40 miles away can just be seen. Yesterday all of those hills were covered in snow (though by late afternoon it had disappeared). Surprised by this phenomenon I checked a calendar and was astonished to discover that it was only mid-January. I said to my wife “Did you know that there is snow on the Welsh Mountains and it’s only mid-January?” She replied “Well that’s truly amazing - I must tell my mates on Mumsnet about this.” Later on she told me that the ‘Mums’ had been similarly startled to hear that there could be snow on high ground in mid-January in parts of the UK, but it seems that this has happened on rare occasions in the past. Apparently it’s due to something called ‘winter'... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently it’s due to something called ‘winter'... I think it's a bit irresponsible to spread the news among the Mums that snow has been falling. If all the schools start to close it will be partly your fault. :-| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
