    It's just part of the steering wheel. Not sticking out or clearly defined, ergo not a button.

    Well that escalated quickly.

    Yes I meant the thing in the middle of the steering wheel. But for clarity, I used to have a Saxo where the horn was an ACTUAL BUTTON on the end of the indicator lever. Or is it not a lever?

    I pay a guy with a French horn to sit in the passenger seat for all my journeys.

    If it's not a button, I'd love to know what it is.

    Googling "steering wheel horn" provides loads of results with replacement buttons for sale. The Wikipedia article for "steering wheel" includes the following:

    In addition to its use in steering, the steering wheel is the usual location for a button to activate the car's horn.

    Woke nonsense. It isn't a button and that's final.

    The walk up to the office was surprisingly not that icy. I do not like the idea of taking a spill and wiping out a laptop in the process.

    I fell victim to some black ice on my lunch and hit the deck. Possibly the first time I've fallen over in my adult life.

    The snow is teaming down here but I expect with the storm coming it will change to torrential rain shortly.

    Weather is abominable for doing basically anything. Changed my plans, heading for a coffee at my local Jaguar dealership.

    I'm still blocked, would be tempting to troll again if not to be fair.

    Alas, my son wants to go, so I'll just lump it.

    I've always wondered how they work out what it "feels like".

    Along with moisture in the air and other factors, I imagine. But I still don't see how they decide that Temperature X + humidity Y × windspeed Z = feels like -10c.

    A meteorologist probably wouldn't understand how to do your job either.

    It's not an exact science, hence "feels like".

    I feel Storm Bert really went under the radar, sorry, and having snuck in, fucked a lot of shit up. Were all the weather-watchers distracted by the pretty snow or something last week? You usually can't get away from the warnings of the apocalypse when far less happens.

    The new thing seems to be 'anger' at the government for not having warned people. This is the sort of bollocks you leave yourself open to when you start naming storms.

    This is easily the worst wind I can recall in at least a decade.
