Hmm. Well imported beer already tastes like crap but for some reason is
becoming increasingly popular anyway. So no change there. (Why on earth do
people prefer fizzy foreign lager to good tasty British real ale? It's
beyond me....)

Do you envisage the glaciers returning to the Lake District? All those
glacial valleys being churned up again by glacial moraines and the lakes
disappearing under millions of tons of gently moving ice for the next few
millennia... Maybe I'll be able to walk to Scotland across the frozen
Solway. That'd be nice.
