One of our favourite things to do here in Britain aside from drinking tea (*glares at Andi*) and standing in queues is discussing the weather although fuck knows why as conversations inevitably consist of:
"Raining again."
"Yep."
But today its not raining. Today is Almost Warm.
For those of you not familiar with British weather, Almost Warm is that teasing bit just before summer Almost Happens, where you still need a jumper but you can tie it round your waist when the sun isn’t hidden behind the statutory black clouds.
After Almost Warm you get Warm Enough which is where you get to strip off and lie in the back garden whilst keeping an eye on the ever present clouds with a blanket close to hand for when the sun disappears behind them.
Then comes An Excuse For Summer which lasts 7-8 days, 5 of which you’ll be at work, then it’s Autumn and it rains again.
Oh yes, we’re renowned for our complaining but come on, admit it, we’ve got a fucking good excuse.
