Default this weather .............thoughts.........

the winters in england have been quite mild for the past 15 years or so...
i reckon this is a cycle that is going around so we will have another cycle of bad winters in the years to come
hope we get the same summers as in the late 70,s early 80,s they where awesome
any thoughts on this?

You deserve a medal, or nobel prize or something...

Your poor car gets death 365 days a year just so that the rest of the UK can enjoy a warm summer, hahaha, brilliant mate!!

I love it. I hate it when it's scorching hot, would rather be wrapped up trying to get warm!

Winter, snow & cold = shite

Summer sun, lovely and warm =ace.

Only like snow when I'm on top of a mountain with a set of ski's on. Other than that, the winter, the cold and the snow can fuck off.

my first thought is that the weather is fairly unpredictable, but if you can do it then you should apply for a job with the met office

Thoughts?? Its winter-its meant to be fucking cold!!
Other countries manage just fine with -20c and snow, so it really shouldnt be such a huge drama.
I like the cold and wearing loads of layers and coats and scarfs etc, but its nice to have a decent summer too.
