Summer? Surely not....

Oh my God! We've had 3 sunny days on the trot after the most miserable June and July for a long time. Why haven't we had the patronising bollocks from the weather forecasters about making sure we're covered up? Why haven't the water companies issued stern warnings about a prospective drought? Why haven't standpipes been introduced through this unseasonally warm spell? Why haven't we heard doom-mongering reports on how many people have died in drowning/sunbathing/gardening/freak ice cream related accidents? Why hasn't the sensational soaraway sizzling Sun ran its "Phew! What a scorcher" headline and covered its front page with obligatory picture of a packed Brighton beach alonside a picture of  a hat wearing smiling sun and  a thermometer showing the temperature in London against the invariably lower temperature of some generally sunnier and  warmer city (like Madrid)?

Have we just not noticed?

This cannot continue...I shall bring it to a close by doing what I usually do....washing the car. A surefire method that is far better than any rain dance!

Later, GrocerJack
