    Tell me about it!...........I went to Mumbai 10 days ago, expecting hot sticky weather........absolutely p****d down for the 4 days I was there....so much so the airports, railway stations and most roads were closed, and unfortunately 40 people died in 24 hours!

    It was like being in Sheffield or Hull!!!

    Just glad I don't sell sun tan lotion!!

    I believe the likes of B & Q (barbecue stuff) & soft drink makers are down a huge amount of sales on normal summer amounts in both here & the U.K.

    I hate people who comlain about the weather, and I despise people who say stuff like "When I was kid the summers lasted for four months. Sun never stopped shining"


    BUT


    This fecking rain is ridiculous. Games being called off in July?

    It has rained over here in Scotland almost every day at some stage for the past 2 months, I've never known anything like it.

    The sad thing is is that the summer hasn't really got long to go and considering we only had a few nice weekends in April it has the makings of the worst summer in memory.

    Before the global warming naysayers get a word in, I'd just like to add that despite the disappearing summers, the temperature is actually going up.

    Of course if you're still denying climate change in the face of the last few years, you're too much of a moron to be able to understand the chart.

    It's pretty nice in Florida today. Actually, it's pretty nice every day.
    Did you ever notice that in every painting of Adam & Eve, they have belly buttons. Think about that...take as long as you want.

    Very true :
    Global warming doesnt just mean more sun it will more than likely mean flooding as more moisture is in the air and eventually when it stops the gulf stream we'll be freezing .

    I cant get clothes dry or keep the house clean with two muddy puppies !!

    We need to act now and start training pirates

    Not expecting anything much better for the rest of this month and the whole of August will need to be a scorcher to make up for this crap.

    Lets not forget September. Soon as the kids go back to school we'll have glorious sunshine. It never lets us down

    Pity you can't get a drink of water to cool down then, eh?

    Was on the news earlier Bulmers cider (C+C) were down half a billion on the stock exchange due to lesser sales than expected. They are blaming the poor weather

    It's there own fault for making there ads feature a pint on a blazing sunny day with "lazing on a sunny afternoon in the background". Now people think they can't buy it when it's ****ing rain.
