Here it's government policy to say "tjugohundrasjutton" (this year) as opposed to "två tusen sjutton". I only started to use "tjugohundra" when it got 2013 because earlier it didn't make much sense tbh.
The huge amount of Portuguese and Italians is surprising, you wouldn't expect so many immigrants from developed countries arriving to France, but I guess that shows the sad state of Southern Europe right now
Most of the immigrants from Southern Europe in France are not recent immigrants. The vast majority (90 per cent) went to France in the 50, 60, 70's. The main destinations for Southern Europe are now the UK, Switzerland and Germany. France has little appeal nowadays.
A cold spell (quite cold and snowy imo) is progged for the UK.
When I sign on to Netweather, I see some members discussing the potential snow/cold, then I see other members contraditing this, referring to how the cold spell will only produce a few "sleety flurries". Which is it? Are we going to be inundated with snow or are we going to have a slush fest?
For me, this kind of airmass usually brings decent volumes of snow and cold so I am perplexed at the pessimistic comentary.

Not as appealing as northern Europe, but still thousands of Spaniards and Portuguese move to France every year.
Loads of Spaniards, Italians and Portuguese in the UK. It's sad that they'll find it harder to move here when we leave the EU because I think they contribute a lot to our country and I love seeing and hearing them while out and about. I bet most Brits would be find if we had open borders with places like Spain and Italy.
