England ...
See when the weather gets a bit pish, you know - if it gets a little windy and starts blowing things about or when it starts raining heavily or when it starts to snow .....
.....quit your moaning!
It's really funny when the english start whining on the news when the weather takes a turn for the worse. Try living north of the border where its NORMAL for the winds to be 80mph and freezing cold in the winter months, it rains everyother day and sometimes get hellish snow conditions.

That's what I call bad advice.

True. Mind you its blowing up a storm down here in Brighton today and I watched a whole load of little school kiddies... about 5 of them.,.. all instantaneously get flattened by a freak gust up my road this morning. It was funny to see, like it was staged or something. One second they were walking along, next they were all of them lying on their backs on top of huge back-packs with their arms and leggs wiggling about... like beetles.

Leave them alone, the poor things.

London is not such a happy place right now, but for all you Brits - try living in LA when it rains. You'll never moan about British weather again.

When I went to let the dogs out this morning when I got them to the doorstep only for a massive thunder crack and a bolt of lightening to scare the living piss out of them.

its part of being british - we moan and we moan lots.
i guess its cos the weather changes so much all the time we never really get used to it. like if i lived somewhere where its -30 degrees celsius, snow everwhere all the time, i wouldnt moan cos id be used to it..
same goes for living in somewhere suffocatingly hot..

Yup.
Nothing to moan about here.- Nothing like a bit of 'grin and bare it' to get you throughcreative-

the seasonal changes in Holland are only recognized by slight variations of pantone warm and cool grays...

I remember once my father and I were walking along the buachaille etive ridge and it was cloudy and a bit blowy anyway we heard this sound like a train coming and everything went still but the sound persisted we sort of stopped and looked at each other then whallop we were lifted off our feet and deposited roughly 10 meters or so further up the ridge, after that 'scare' we basically crawled the last few hundred feet to the downslope :/ pretty amazing stuff likesey !!!.
- HAHA, No idea what you look like Chossy but I had a very clear image of you both crawling home just then.********

Ah there you go look, the ' English weather moan' as predicted by 23kon at the top. Migy, you were meant to suffer in silence and dignity for Queen and Country.

My primary school in Dunblane used to get closed when it rained heavily :D great days great days indeed you see it would flood at the bottom of the playground and the roofs were in dissrepair.
I actually really like heavy rain it's fascinating.
Not keen on the whole English bashing though I'm sure kons just winding youse up but he does come across a bit queer.
