walshie 2,804 Posted November 4, 2015 Report Share Posted November 4, 2015 I went to buy one of those weather forecasting stations in the local village earlier. They didn't have any in stock, but he had this hand made one that he sold me for only £200 more than the electronic one. Nice man. Must like English people. Either that or he didn't know i was a townie. I didn't think it was working when I was in the shop as the stone was dry and it's definitely raining outside, but now i've got it home, it seems to be accurate enough.

Always found the weather brick to be more accurate than a stone. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

neil cooney 10,416 Posted November 4, 2015 Report Share Posted November 4, 2015 I would have no time for modern gadgets like that stone. I prefer the old sayings we have here in Ireland. For instance, if you can see the hills it's going to rain, if you can't it's because it's raining. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
