[postman]

It's up there,it comes down.Can't do anything about it,that's good old British weather.
It's not the first crap summer and it will not be the last.

It's horrendous! Two days we've had of heavy rain and after that naff summer i thought with autumn coming it'd dry up a bit but it's worse! The roads this morning were part flooded but yet those motorists who consider their journey more important than others speed along oblivious of the bad conditions. Many of them haven't even the sense to put their side lights on either.
Anyway, it's supposed to dry up a bit tomorrow with more showers than heavy rain, or so at least say the weather reporters with their fake grins, from their nice dry snug studios!!

Nah...enjoy the feeling as you ride past all the traffic which as been stuck for hours because of the looking and road closures, as the drivers look at you wishing they had the option to bike in today.
Be the same from 4.00pm today onwards as well?

Apparently people are being very silly in cars today... it would be far quicker for them to just to walk into and out of Newcastle but they're all sitting there for hours in queues staring blankly at the car in front.
Get a bike!!

 

[Archie_tect]

[Maz]

No rain this morning, but it was very windy!

 

[Nearly there]

I think us brits have spoiled ourselves with holidays in the sun we suffer from sun envy

 

[ColinJ]

Oh, is it raining?

Think yourselves lucky - I haven't been able to get out in any kind of weather for 2 months now! I would love to walk in the rain to a cafe for a chip butty and a coffee...

I got wet walking home with the shopping -because it's rained a lot they've closed the flood gate and I couldn't take the short cut so I got more wet than necessary.
I left my bike at work yesterday so I will have to walk there soon, and get wet, then I will spend 3 hours asking people to please shut the door, and shutting the door for them when they don't, and being cold.
Then at 5 it will no doubt still be raining and I will have to cycle home in it, becoming invisible even with lights on and probably narrowly avoiding being killed by some numpty in a bus/van/car.
I will moan some more after this happens.
