"how's the weather over in France today pinto?"
- hot
- again
- dry as a chip
"
can you give these inane nongs a bit of an overview of farm production?"there's no point - they wilfully refuse to see evidence in front of their eyes
yesterday I saw an orchard of stone fruit trees that are god knows how old - massive trunks on them - those trees are stressed - badly stressed - leaves brown and dropping already - as are many large trees near me (not fruit trees)
these very very very old tree have developed root systems ------- systems that have been in place for god knows how long ------------ and - they are out of water
the peanut brigade say things like - everything is normal - we've had this before ----
no - we have not - it's that bloody simple
back a few weeks in the last heat wave (can one believe to be saying that in France - so many this season, one has to count on the hand to remember) --------- the plus 40 days --------- the peanuts came up and said - oh, it's normal - the same happened in 1976
well - no it didn't - this was very different
there's something wrong in the heads of Ozzie peanuts -------------------- one doesn't get such dumb reactions over here - Mr Mcgoo is sensing that it's different now
there's a better article the BBC put out - but, this one will do for a rough guide
