Things that make you go oooh thread....

The Met Office has revealed that the entire north of Scotland reported an increase in sunshine hours during the meteorological winter, which runs from December 1 to February 29.

The UK average was 145.6 hours of sunshine during the period, while Moray recorded 216.6 hours.

Since records began in 1910, this has only been beaten by 222.9 hours in Moray in 2018 and 235 in 1930 respectively.

We have a special kind of sun though. It's one that produces huge amounts of light without the enormous drag factor of having to produce heat. Still, I'll take that. Look at over Fort William way. Christ it's dark. And cold. And wet. And miserable <shudder>

That reckons where I live has had between 140 and 160 sunshine hours but I can't remember any of them. It seems to me to have been the wettest, greyest, most sunless winter I can ever remember.

Lidl are selling their own merch

Lidl launching their own fashion range could be a genius move in a kind of reverse psychology way. Like rich people buying old bangers of cars or politicians on election campaigns eating food on camera they wouldn't normally be seen dead consuming.

Or maybe not.

I'd make it a mandatory school uniform.

Having experienced a stiff Nor-Easter in January at Wick Harbour, I would have welcomed a little heat generation. Maybe global warming will bring some relief.

Could do with some heat generation at the moment. It's blimmin' freezing.

I don't see a problem. Two (different) fleeces I bought in Lidl's have been among the most useful and comfortable items of apparell in my wardrobe.

I don't disagree with you about the quality and value for money.

Tell me though, are those fleeces heavily branded with Lidl colours / logos?

Haha, no branding by Lidl on the label, and certainly not on the outside.
