I keep hearing about this summer we didn't have this year in the UK ....
We had a brilliant summer in N/Wales .... OK maybe not the hottest, but decent enough and hardly any rain
Funny, just up the road here in Merseyside, it's not stopped raining since 2007... It rained pretty much every single day between April and July; there was that brief heatwave (when, ironically, I was away on 3 weeks holiday!), and IIRC September was basically dry and actually quite nice. Then, in October, it started raining again.
Forecast is currently for it to stop on Thursday.
I so hate the British weather.
