mylittleponey · 15/12/2007 19:22

got a question - what is the definition of a white xmas?

Desiderata · 15/12/2007 19:22

The answer to Quint's question is Norway.

It has something to do with (I think) a specific operation during WWII, when Allied Airmen rescued some high-ranking Norwegian scientists, etc, from a tower block. The operation was amazing, in that the captives were held on (something like), the fourth floor, whilst the Nazis were on all the other floors, both above and below.

Am I somewhere close? (It would be rude to google).

sophy · 15/12/2007 19:22

The answer I was looking for is mutton but I will accept meat!

MaureenMLovesmincepies · 15/12/2007 19:23

Oh oh, I know this one. It has to snow on certain weather thingies to be a real white Christmas. a white Christmas in London is if it snows on Buck House roof!
