So Burton's "Winter Wake-up" service was a bit of a disaster.
Burton extrapolated all the global warming projections of the last 25 years, and decided that the weather today would justify a water-based event. Hence, at great cost (personal, I hasten to add) he hired a load of punts, and encouraged us all to join in a chorus of "Jolly Boating Weather".
Well, the only members of the Community thay appreciated hopping around on freezing-cold punts on a frozen Duck Pond, in a light shawl of freezing fog" were ourr enclosed order of penguins, "The Little Sisters of the Holy Herring". Several of the human Beaker People ended up with borderline hypothermia.
I have explained to Burton Dasset the concepts of "scepticism", "sense" and "margin of error". But I think he's written too many computer programs in his life for any of these ideas to make any difference.
Isn't sceptical and doesn't understand handling unexpected errors, Burton can't have programmed on the Microsoft Windows platform then.
