I distinctly remember the Radio Times (when it was part of the BBC) running a feature that looked forward to southern England having the same climate as Madeira in 10/15 years so we could grow pineapples and mangoes and bananas in our gardens! Why have they gone back on this promise? I had my sun-hat all ready. The wife was planting banana seeds and putting loungers out on the lawn so we could lie there drinking mango juice.
