Somewhat out of the way, though. Prefer the Hotel Malvinas (Prop: Mr Half Empty) as a long term bolt-hole. Isn't the next Ice Age due along any time now? If I was a climate scientist I'd take good care to speak of "climate change" rather than "global warming". And who knows, if Ahmadinnerjacket gets his way, we might see a revival of that eighties favourite, "nuclear winter". Remember that one, anyone?</p> Skara Brae looks really rather snug.
