[creative craig]

Just went on my lunch break and the weather here (Exeter, Devon) is unusualy hot for April! Its been like this for the last 2 or 3 weeks.

Not complaining, just hope it holds for the weekend :)

Downside: I am seeing a slight drop in site traffic, I think that it is mainly weather related.

Yep same here, people sitting outside in the sun rather than sending money on my stores :( suppose you can't have everything

[gibbon]

downside is the we didnt see the usual lunchtime traffic surge today, prob down 20% :(

[Visit Thailand]

Hot in England? Please!

If you want real heat come to Thailand or should I say visit Thailand!

[tigger]

LOL :)

You have to remember us brit's don't do weather extremes don't worry in another 6mths we won't be coping with the cold

[WibbleWobble]

I think every other country in the world has people who can deal with weather, except Britain; here we have never managed to acclimatise to our own weather simply because its so goddamn sporadic and random.
Which is terrible, because it means that come summer, we moan if it rains, and we moan if its too hot, and we moan if its dull, and if its too bright.

We're a silly people.

"We're a silly people."

Speak for yourself ;)

"Only mad dogs and Englishmen go out in the noonday sun."

[nutsandbolts]

I've just left wonderful 85 degree weather in North Carolina to return to Sunny but chilly Cheshire. Blah....

[giggle]

Cornwall I think that starts:

"In Bangkok at 12 o'clock they foam at the mouth and run....."

Surprising number of us here in Thailand! Just to confirm, it's hot in Bangkok as well.

[cornwall]

You are correct. But Noel Coward didn't stop at Bangkok

"Mad dogs and Englishmen go out in the midday sun.
The toughest Burmese bandit can never understand it.
In Rangoon the heat of noon is just what the natives shun,
They put their Scotch or Rye down, and lie down.
In a jungle town where the sun beats down to the rage of man and beast
The English garb of the English sahib merely gets a bit more creased.
In Bangkok at twelve o'clock they foam at the mouth and run,
But mad dogs and Englishmen go out in the midday sun."

....but went on to list all the places that sparked the English desire for a warm midday. This is the whole song [esl-lounge.com]

[giggle]

Nice one.

[Monkscuba]

"Surprising number of us in Thailand"

One of the best places in the world to live or visit.

Still quite warm today :)

[creative craig]

It was hot all weekend :)

[Brett_Tabke]

Well it was snowing in the South East on England yesterday and icy and foggy this morning.

[Paul in South Africa]

Reading things about snow and ice makes me even more certain to keep living in South Africa.

[le_gber]

Are we in England?

I just came back from a meeting, I had to go out of the office.

D*NM, we're supposed to be in APRIL!

What is this sun hitting my head? I'm not use to it. I came to england because I don't like the heat too much (makes me crazy and easilly irritable :)) and now I've got to use ice to keep me cool.

Anyway well done Enlgish weather!;)
