Dog-paw car exhausts.

When I was a lad and winters were often harsh, practically every car had a
dog-paw fitting on the end of the tail pipe.

Presumably the theory was to direct the exhaust heat (and often soot in them
days) down to melt the snow.

Might there be a revival if winters carry on getting worse again?

 

Is this some alternate reality that you've been living in? I can remember
one in every 50 cars maybe having one. And when were winters often harsh
apart from up north and who really cares about them?

 

Only Morris Oxfords and the like and they were an aftermarket accessory.
The Caravan Owning cunts seemed to like them, along with the chrome
towball covers.

I doubt it. Nobody is so tasteless these days.
Ah... of course they are. Just put LEDs on them.

 

Personally I'm fascinated by this assertion that winters are getting worse.

Global warming, innit? S'obvious.

 

I think you need to have sex.

 

Is that an offer?

That's Nige for you. Taking one for the team - go Nige!

 

Depends on your definition of good and bad. Some people like the cold and
snow.

According to the Met Office, 2 years ago was the coldest for 20 years,
then last year the coldest for 50 years, then the current winter the
coldest since records began.

 

Oh, well, two years. That's a long term trend if ever I saw one.

 

I blame the lack of sun spots.

 

NASA's been squeezing them.

 

Where do I send the tub of KY-jelly?

 

Neither of which statistics indicate that winters are getting worse,
however you chose to interpret 'worse'

According to some quite shagable bint on the idiots lantern t'other
night, we are due for quite an upsurge in activity from the sun, the
sort that gives Auroras at the equator. And power cuts.

 

Ask the radio hams - they'll know.

 

I really hate too hot weather - but the Continental back tyre is really crap
on snow.

 

Your Google mojo appears to be broken.
