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.

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!"

They call me Mr Fahrenheit....


 

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 !!

3/10 too obvious.

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.

    • The skatepark has been a great use of a derelict site, but surely the point is that that site should not have been allowed (and should not continue to be allowed) to have become derelict in the first place. As someone who couldn't live much closer to the Grove Tavern, I would welcome any redevelopment efforts. The current state of the pub is untenable, wasteful and ultimately an embarrassment for the local area.  The concerns mentioned about young people and the lack of public space for them to spend time are totally valid. And I agree, its very inspiring that a group of teenagers have built the skate park and created something out of nothing. But that shouldn't prevent the site being turned into something that is of utility to the whole community - whether that be housing, supermarkets or a pub/restaurant. 
    • Crikey. I made one comment  relating to the ice cream flavour, which referred to a previous thread which you started.  That thread was also about a specific named local cafe (not the same one). You subsequently deleted most of your very long posts on it, which included one in which you made false and insulting assumptions about another forum member (not me). Luckily nobody had quoted your posts  in their responses, so the content is no longer on here. In view of the subject of that thread (you and your son didn't like the vegan hot chocolate) I thought my comment above about the ice cream flavour was funny. I'm sorry if you found it "sarcastic". Maybe we have a  different sense of humour. I thought the rest of my posts on this thread  were helpful. I'm sorry if you didn't. I'm not deliberately "replying to every one of your posts " !!! What a very strange thing to say! To the best of my knowledge I haven't replied more to your posts than to anyone else's! I post a lot on this forum.  If you click on my name you can see all my posts.  I have lived in the area since 1991, and I have an interest in what is going on. I've been posting on here almost since the forum started. I am  retired, apart from promoting and  running music gigs, which takes up a lot of my time, however yes!  I do have many other  things to do!  I don't know if they are "better" than posting on here.  You post on here! So do many other people! If everyone had "better things to do" there would be no forum! I am  "out" on here, and always have been. I don't have anything to hide behind a forum name, and I have always gone under my own name.  You can come and find me any time if you want to address your apparent grievances with me in person. I am glad your son is better.
    • Thankfully he's better Sue, thanks to your usual sarcasm - can always rely on the fact you have nothing better to do than reply to every one of my posts. Clearly I'll have to change my ED forum name 😉 Apologies to anyone offended. We've all eaten in this cafe many many times so I've put this down to a one off. Yes obviously kids get sick. Gosh I didn't realise when ED forum became so full of passive aggressive, sarcastic people. Won't be posting again in a hurry - cue the afore mentioned type of replies in response no doubt... Oh and this incident was most definitely the icecream or person serving it having dirty hands or gloves, as my son was fine after he was sick. So no bug.  For the avoidance of doubt nobody meant for this to affect any business, so once again apols for mentioning by name. Happy icecream eating everyone.
