"Shona and Morag" are my two favourite sheep and I'd just rather leave them out of this, thank you very much.

looking at all the posts here....
it must be true that the favorite subject of the Brits is the weather.....
Being in Greece and having vast reserves of hot weather, just tell me how many degrees you want me to send you......

Don't be so cheeky or else we won't be sending you any more euros.

Aren't you supposed to be out on the streets demonstrating against something?

Would you like the Olympics back?

I don't want them here now that I can't get any tickets.

Funny how perceptions of temperature differ. On video to my parents in South Africa. "It's cold and miserable, down to 15C last night"

Yes - stop complaining please! This is the first wave of good weather in Britain since I moved here in 2007!

I'd just like to apologise for the downpour yesterday evening in London. That is because I took delivery of an air conditioning unit yesterday afternoon, which means summer is now over.

You are all ridiculous. We have had a gorgeous summer! Just because it came in April doesn't mean it wasn't lovely. This Friday is sports day. It must be sunny or the kids won't be able to keep the eggs on the spoons!

jamikins -- we came in 2007 too. Since then the UK has had the rainiest summer, the coldest winter and a couple of the hottest days ever. I thought we were to blame for the extreme weather. I think I will pass the blame to you.

I've just changed to a summer weight duvet. Expect ground frost tonight

<i>Do you have ac at home in the UK?</i>

Virtually unheard of. Frequently gets thought about by those unable to sleep during a heatwave, but the cost and upheaval is just too much to justify for the small number of days/nights it's required. Tried a "portable" unit once, but the noise was like a hairdryer left on all night. Took it back to the shop after 2 days.

If it gets too hot at night, I just argue with the wife and it turns to chilly.

We have windows (and blinds to keep the heat out during the day) - and the ability to remove the duvet from the bed when it gets too hot
