In the UK we are used to the rain, we get a lot of it. We put up with it because it makes us such a green country, makes stuff grow and we like to potter about with our trousers rolled up in a cool river on a hot sunny day.

But even us hardy brits have had enough now, it seems to have been raining continuously since before Christmas. The news is even picking up on it, here are a few facts from Sky News:

• Several sites across the UK haven’t had an entirely dry day since 30 December, which would mean rain on Sunday would be the 40th consecutive day.
• Aberdeen has had zero hours of sunshine since 21 January. It’s the longest sunless period there since 1957.

It rained today, so that is 40 days straight. Noah was spotted at a timber merchants buying up wood for an Ark it has been so wet.

I suppose this is climate change, wetter winters and drier summers for us. We’ll have to come up with new strategies for holding the water to prevent flooding and release it when we need it when warm.

So when will we see the sun?

Next blimming Saturday!

Typical brit, always talking about the weather.
