Whoever the God (or Gods) is (or are) that control the weather, I think this must be their attitude towards Britain:
“Right – we’re not giving you Summer, ever.
Ok, thinking about it, you can have a bit of Summer,
but not much.
You can have 10 days of Summer every year, but they
won’t be 10 days that are near each other. You can have a 2 or 3 day stretch In
April that gets you excited for what’s ahead, then you can have another 2 or 3
days spell just before the schools break up for their holiday, and then when it
gets to September you can have another spell of 2 or 3 days, just to show you
what you missed. Immediately after each spell you can put up with torrential
rain for a while.
Most of Autumn will be soaking wet, most of Winter
will be damp and foggy, most of Spring will be like Winter was 20 years ago.
It’ll snow in April and be sunny at Christmas, just to mess with your
traditions.
Generally speaking you can have 250 days a year when
everything is damp and breezy and the sky is a uniform grey, and 100 days a
year when it’s dark enough to need a torch. The rest will be howling gales or a
heatwave.
Enjoy.”
