Ok, all you non-english people can tell us how weak we are when it comes to heat. Blah blah, we complain cos we're too hot. But good british weather is the constant downpour of gods holy piss. For that, we are hard as nails. For the rest, we're pussy's.

Edit: My ex-girlfriend was Canadian. She used to be impressed at how when it was pissing it down with rain, people in the UK were still happily walking up and down the highstreet getting drenched. Apparently everyone clears off into cover when it rains over there. So that's obviously where our strength lies.

Insiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiide!

The hardest thing about humidity/heat is the air itself,sometime you just feel you're struggling to breathe eventhough there's enough of it.

The answer is: Pool,shower or anything else that'll involve water/swimming.

we got some pretty cold winter in Quebec province and we're just glad when it's hot...Any kind of hot weather even suffocating is welcome here...

Also,I believe there are reasons to complain,hell,old folks are dying because of it.(50 I heard)

If I've seen it all before,why's this bus taking me back again? @_@

Heh, what film was it that basically put the fact that the English took over something like a quarter of the planet down to bad weather?

Cheers

Aw come on, it can't be that bad!
Here I'm cold! The temperature dropped to 14 degrees in the morning and 28 C at 12:00! This is COLD! How can you call 37 degrees hot?

When I went to London I froze, but that was 6 years ago. Had the worst cold in my life!

We laugh at temperatures down to about 10 C, and then we start thinking its a tad nippy. We can cope with it down to freezing, and then we start to complain about the cold.

Insiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiide!

we complain when its too hot and we complain when its too cold.

we also complain when its average, that it isnt either hot or cold.

and if this lager crisis reaches hull, well, quite frankly, i think i'll break down and cry

You can ferment your socks in potato juice for home brewed beer.

Ooops. Dont forget the dash of fungus from inbetween your toes for a fruity bite.

Ah, but we don't go down to stupid numbers in the winter. For us generally around 2-5 degrees is bloody freezing. And when it does actually freeze it's only for a couple of days normalls.

I like the rain, and the sun. The sun can get really annoying. In England the weather was really crap, and it was always cloudy. It was better when it was raining...But i like the sun now. I am used to it because we have a lot of it. In England I suppose I was used to that weather, but now I think its cold.

I think we need hotter summers and colder winters. It's boring if it's grey all the time
