It's been like that for two or three days now, I usually use http://www.raintoday.co.uk/ for radar pics, but that also plays up now and again, (and has been today), another alternative is the European radar website, (which still includes the UK). http://www.weathercast.co.uk/radar/united-kingdom.html

www.meteox.com not only has rainfall radar but also shows snowfall. It also forecasts which way the rain is going to move in 5 minute intervals up to 3 hours ahead.

Net weather is another with radar we use the radar which is brilliant on giving you the timing of weather fronts very useful when you are at sea where winds can pick up very quickly more so actually in summer than winter with localised thunderstorms which the radar picks up very clearly:a very useful peice of kit .

The BBC are now reporting that:

The Army has been called in to help rescue hundreds of drivers stuck in snow, as freezing conditions continue across much of the UK.

 

Just how dumb are these people?

I dare say that most of them won't have winter tyres, won't have been carrying any tools and won't have thought to throw a bag of extra clothes, blankets, food or water into the car before setting out.

Blimey its more serious than you know the rolls are not there!

 

I don't want rolls; rolls would have to be crusty and therefore fresh, the only things I'm interested in doing before breakfast is drinking tea and taking a dump, not going out to buy fresh rolls.

Pop them in the oven to crisp while your roasting the turbot kedgeree silly

I like the crusty ones but unfortunately most supermarkets use the same flour as is used in french sticks ,its not right!

You could use scots morning rolls if you can find them ,not crispy but nice with bacon

Smoked Haddock goes in my Kedgeree, and I don't cook it in the oven, I work on getting the timing right and assemble it from the various freshly cooked ingredients.

 

I don't ever turn the oven on just to warm something up, that's very wasteful of electrickery, (imo).

 

I think I've documented here before how I make a bacon sandwich, the bread goes in toaster, both slices in the same hole, this gives a crunchy centre to the sandwich (the toasted side) with a refreshed outer to each slice.

 

If you want the rest, three or four rashers of streaky cooked until crispy, two or three back rashers (depending on size), soft blue cheese spread on one slice, (St. Agur is my current choice), plenty of butter on the other, assemble the whole thing and add plenty of freshly ground black pepper, if the butter is not running down your arm while you eat it you didn't use enough.
