Ackey Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 !?! We're getting some cracking (ha!) thunder here in Failsworth at the minute. I wouldn't mind but I was enjoying the sun earlier, getting my CV sent off sat in the garden. England for you, eh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alec1954 Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 Interesting.. 5 miles away in the City Centre, not a sound, no rain and still sunny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leeslover Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 It’s oppressively hot and close down South, at least for those of us genetically pre-disposed for sitting in peat bogs getting rained on.It was blazing hot yesterday. Suffice to say that I didn’t get through much of the book I took to Wandsworth Common, such was the volume and quality of the distractions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beag_teeets Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 Interesting.. 5 miles away in the City Centre, not a sound, no rain and still sunny. That'll change in 10 mins, I leave work then. Been sat at my desk sweating like a rapist all day not been able to get outside. As soon as I head for the door it will start chucking it down.

Zorrro Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 Wrong forum/section? Good call. Don't worry; I've already had a word with the author. Incidentally, it's beautiful down here. I'm hoping it lasts... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rudemedic Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 For me this post sums up a good bit of the English (or British) psyche/culture. When we are stuck for a conversation we talk about the weather. Yet we don't really get extremes of weather in this country (but unlike others we do have 4 seasons). Yet we also like rules so at least one of the posts is moaning the fact it isn't in quite the right section. It is quite nice in Heywood at the mo, no signs of any rain- but it was looking a bit cloudy earlier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In China where language was a huge barrier the weather, through a combination of broken English/Chinese and gestures was often the topic of conversation. The Aussies love to moan about the weather. If it's not about 400'F they have three hoodies on and a bobble hat! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know I found it quite funny that in weather where I'm walking around in t-shirt and trousers and thinking about busting out my shorts, those Aussies going to work (I was staying with relly's in the commuter belt) were wearing wollen winter overcoats over their suits.

futchers briefs Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 It's taken the same time for the weather to reach the Oval from Owdham as you could make it there in a car about just under 3 1/2 hours.....and there's no cones in the sky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was getting hot under the collar walking to Croydon station to go home, so rebelliously untucked my shirt during the 18 minute train ride to Balham, and got pissed on walking back home.

Good fun. Seems to be heading over Ashton from what I can tell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So long as the local vicar can rest his headware. Incidentally, I have tried but failed to get a set of chapel hat pegs image on here. It's the thought that counts.
