Back to the backwards spelling thing -
It is called a palindrome.

When going into exile, Napoleon (might have) said, "able was I 'ere I saw Elba"

Sounds like England is an isolated place in that regard.

Here, like Australia, drivers are expected to take responsibility for the operation of their own vehicle. Sure, there are some who look for ways to shed responsibility when they screw up, but generally if an individual is in the wrong the system holds them accountable.

England seems to be full of people who think their betters have to do all good things for them. I will not say more because I am in a bit of a hurry and anything said might be interpreted as political. When they do real bad on the road, usually involving dead people, there seems to be a lot of desire to throw the sanction of a holiday in the government hotel. That is a real contrast to Australia where the holiday sanction is used rarely for traffic events, and usually only for cases which half the country would regard as egregious, not the 'there but by the grace ...' type events which Australians seem to consider most of the unfortunate events.

It is a palindrome, which is not.

No, but I got a request in for skis.

Given the acquisition time cycle for most large companies they will arrive about when you put in your request for a swimming pool.

Fedex me some of that snow and I'll send you a jar of warm air in return!

Three shipping containers full are on their way. Now, where's that warm air?

Drat. Seems we're getting down to 16degC tomorrow. But, by weekend they're predicting 28. You'll have to wait until then!

There are still piles of snow at the work car park today, some piles, not too many.

And the golf course nearby has whites with a pennant sticking up.

I have seen golf courses with greens, whites, blacks and gibbers. The latter would be very hard to play.

I see that a London restaurant has grey squirrel on the menu.
In other news I heard that Otis has put out a call to arms for his army.

Last night a warm front moved through the area (opposite of a Polar Vortex) and now we have a lake in front of our house. It is going down to -14 later tonight. Poopshow for sure

Now 56 F here at my house but back to sub-zero within a day or two! My KP said I need to cook more goat so I can haul around my new 150-500 HSM. Or maybe it said bacon....
