What the FUCK is going on? Torrential rain, followed by blistering sunshine, followed by rain, followed by burning sunshine, followed by epic Hammer Horror thunderstorm. Repeat every single day until September. It's weird.

I have a lovely view of Highgate and Hampstead from my crappy flat, and you can see the weather move across North West London. Terrifying. Them clouds is huge and fast.
The weather has always been a little wacky in England, we know that. But maybe it is getting wackier. Maybe we only have 20 habitable years left on this island.
Should i start a thread about the best way to make tea?

It's been really very nice this week-end. I don't like the heat too much, and this last week-end has been...pleasant. very settled. Beautiful sunsets from my window too.
I heard they have Hurricane Charlie over in Ireland right now though. Us Brits should be thankful.

So where's everyone from, then? Middlesbrough here. Stop sneering, it's not half as bad as it's made out. Anyway, yeah the weather has been crazy, it's like tropical weather. Without the obvious bonus of it being tropical.

And regarding tea, I recently visited America, and bloody hell, when I asked for a tea the answer was 'iced, sweetened, or unsweetened?'. 'What?' I inocently replied, confounded by all these options. 'I just want a normal cup of tea, you know, with milk in?'. 'You put CREAM in TEA?' they answered, aghast. This is where I settled for a coke.

Yanks, eh?

I do not miss the old British weather one bit. I love the weather here in Texas ( but not the bloody mossies ), although it can be pretty bloody changeable. I remember telling my aunt on the phone one day back in March that it was 75F on the Sunday afternoon, then frosty on Monday morning ! Weird.

I do miss the long summer evenings though, my wife thought that was great the first time she visited England.

Oh yeah, originally from Tewkesbury in Glos by the way.

I think America is a nice place to visit, but I couldn't handle living there. The culture annoys me too much.
