People who use Farenheit instead of Centrigrade (or Celsius to be precise). Educatated in the metric system 40 years ago. Happily give up miles as well, but this thread is specific to summer.


Please emigrate to isolationist USA and take your Express and Telegraph readers with you.

Ha.


Any other city commuters notice the juggler on London Bridge this morning? He started shouting at the passers-by at one point... "What you lookin' at? It's called f***in' trying! I've been up since 6am too you know!"

Glad I'm not the only one looking forward to Autumn!


Awful feet & sandals unsurprisingly gets a unanimous no-no.


I don't believe people look happier in the sunshine, more like hot & bothered & pretty tetchy with it. On that note, I'm going to add insect bites & stinky sun block whilst I'm here.

Things I hate about summer :


Smelly people.

Ladies wearing in appropriate clothes, (i.e. grossly overweight in very small clothes, bending over pram Aaaargh... size 32 shorts and boob tube, blubber hanging over where clothes finish).

Biting midges.

Children in the shops running about when usually (at that time of day), they would be in nursery or school and can be avoided.

Children screaming.

Just children everywhere !!!


I chose the 2 seater sports car, go where I want, when I want option over the joys of motherhood !!

Sorry for being toooo obvious !!


What about


trying to clean the windows and when you have finished and the sun shines, they LOOK WORSE THAN WHEN YOU STARTED.

Getting home with part defrosted shopping, then when you try to separate the food to cook it, it has welded itself together.

My husband, every five minutes : it's too hot, it's too hot ...

With today's weather, Alan? I am. Rainiest July on record, maybe I will suffer in August with all that hot sun! I'm going to Ireland then so I hope it bloody well rains there ;)



PS Jeremy, you do realise I was not being entirely serious about borage, don't you?

I grew a load of borage because it has pretty blue flowers.


So then for the first time in my life I bought a bottle of Pimms, as what else can you do with borage?


What happened? The f-ing weather changed and it tipped down with rain and then became freezing cold GRRRR :))


The Pimms is still unopened (oh and then my sister informed me that she had a bottle I could have had GRRRR :)) )

I thought I was going to struggle to find anything to agree with on this thread as though there are things that bug me about summer (the odd night when it's too hot to sleep), the longer hours of daylight trump anything the other seasons have to offer.


But this... oh yes. My boyfriend does it. He even admitted he likes doing it to be annoying once. And it is... grrr.


I am off work this summer and it's definitely improved by not having to commute on hot days, although on the sweatiest of days I could almost go in for the air-conditioning.

      Up the reform

      By Sephiroth · Posted

      of course most people would avoid the "stupid" term - but I'm sticking with it fact is no other European would be so dumb, and even with the same information, the  same media, the same everything, 2 of the countries within the UK saw ho stupid an idea it was - but only the English (who played a large part in the Welsh result) pushed ahead - there is something defiantly arrogant and stupid and it isn't just down to bad info and bad leadership But that was all 2016 - it's people in 2025 who claim it to be a good idea executed badly who are especially stupid Now - does calling people stupid help anyone? It's not especially politically gainful and just gets peoples' backs up - but it remains a truth and only when the country as a whole genuinely holds it's hands up and admits the stupidity (rather than downplaying it as a poor decision - no shade meant Mal - you are just nicer and politer than me) will it begin. to turn the tide Also worth mentioning that yes I am as intractable and blunt with friends and family who voted Leave as well - this isn't me hiding behind some online anonymous account. This is what I'm like

      Petsitter available over Summer

      By bleumarine · Posted

      Hello My name is Lizzie and I work locally as a dog walker and nanny. I won’t be needed over Summer so will have full availability for a dogsitting job. I have a DBS certificate and will provide several dogsitting references as well. Please note that I can only watch your pet at your home since they are sadly not allowed in my flat! Looking forward to hear from you

      By malumbu · Posted

      The decision to leave the EU was a poor one, but I'd avoid the term stupid when applied to the masses (the decision was of course stupid) and blame those who willingly misled.  A certain N Farage (pronounced with a hard G rather than the soft G he affected, rather continental eh?) being one of the main culprits. He blames the Tories for not delivering Brexit, and not really clear how Labour are playing this.  But ultimately what sort of Brexit were people voting for?  And ditto what future were people voting for last Thursday?
