Crap British summer

This summer's weather has been a total bummer. Just 2 weeks around Wimbledon that was hot and fine. Really really crap. Today it's grey overcast and blowing a gale. The feckin wind has just blown my tomato plants clean over meaning I've lost a few branches laden with promising jewels that have snapped. Mind you the toms are still as green as a green jersey and are as hard as golf balls so probably no chance of them ripening before autumn. I had them staked up as well. A total waste of £20. I hate the crap British weather.
Last year and the year before were both crap as well.
Was going to go out for a ride later but battling gales doesn't appeal. I hope the weather improves for tomorrow's club ride.
What with broken Britain the time is nigh to emigrate to a better climate and quality of life.

Hmm.... it's been amazing in Manchester!
Only 1 week of solid rain this year - and I wasn't around for it!
Manchester's summer usually consists of half an hour of 22 degrees some time in May; the rest of the months being a biblical 24/7 downpour.0 -
It'ds been gorgeous here in Chester for this last week. Granted before that was quite hit and miss, but I think this summer hasn't been such bad value for money.
It's just that these last three years we've been comparing it to the heatwave of '06, which was a once in a blue moon thing. I judge a summer on the number of days you could have a barbequeue, and this year I'd say there's been plenty (nice days not BBQs!)0 -

So far we've got the Manchester to Holyhead corridor covered then lol, whereas in the Back of Beyond the weather's rubbish.0

Where is the Back of Beyond anyway - is it near Down in the Dumps ?
oh yeah, it's raining and blowing a bit here, but I still go out in it - makes you appreciate a nice sunny day even more 0 -

Blowing a gale in Mcr, chucked it down at lunch, so left the road bikes, and jumped on the MTB.
Covered in mud, even had a mud suntan on the legs......stopped at the socks and shorts...0 -

I spoke too soon. :roll:
Just been raining a bit in Manchester.
There was a tailwind too, so the cloud was following me.

Aw no, the guy that took them said he wouldn't give 'em to no-one. He lied to may, and stole my dignity.0

On behalf of the East Anglian Tourist Board I'd just like to say the weather's been great here this summer(and there're very few hills!)0
