    My lovely daughter-in-law comes from Barbados where the temperature outside is always 28 degrees or there abouts so I asked her how people greet each other. Apparently instead of weather comments, so usual in the UK the question is "what are you having for your dinner tonight?"!! image

    There is a pub that I have been known to frequent, which has a weather stone outside, with a sign that says:

    If stone dry - not raining

    If stone wet - raining

    If stone covered with white stuff - snowing

    If stone swinging - windy

    If stone bouncing up and down - earth quake

    if stone flying down street - tornado.

    How can you lie there and think of England
    When you don't even know who's in the team

    Oh Dove, can I go visit them please, actually, I rarely complain about the weather.  My youngest son after 10 years of severe depression, diagnosed with a complex Bi-Polar disorder said to me (and everyone else who dared say, isnt it cold, hot, wet!) the weather is what the weather is you should not waste your precious life moaning about something you can do nothing about.   Get the odd frost warning, rushing around like the Witch of Wookey getting plants, in - covered and nothing happens.  I lwatch the forcast on BBC1, will say sunny tomorrow, then the next morning, rain.   My Hubby (who is from Sarf London) will be outside, snif the air, say "its going to rain", he is never wrong, and I am a country girl.   Got a bit of sea-weed anyone?  Yup, Tomas is easy on the eye.  Would someone tell Kate Kinsella, she is too fair to be wearing those huge dark framed specs, and such miserable dark clothes, unlike Carol!
