Who do I sue and where do I sue them?

[PaulB]

Surely we can sue someone under the Trades Descriptions act for claiming this is summer?

I'm going out on my bike now dressed in exactly the same gear I'd normally wear from November to March and I have to remind myself IT'S JULY! Has the planet rotated and we're a southern hemisphere country now and no-one bothered to tell us?

And in my experience, these wash-out 'summers' are rarely one-off affairs and there's usually two more non-summers in the post for the next two years.

I blame God!
Or maybe it's all those same sex marriages?
Perhaps it's the fact that we have a Tory government?
Just maybe it's because we have a maritime climate. Nah!

I blame God!

Which one?

I see your mistake, you were expecting a summer, what you signed up for is "A great British summer (TM)" If you check the T&Cs that's exactly what you've got .

I guess we've been lucky down near London so far. Been a lovely summer including some record temperatures.

 

[byegad]

Which one?

All of them! And their followers!

 

[DCLane]

You're in Lancashire. That's your problem.

Over here on the proper side of the country it's warm and sunny.

Alternatively, rule #5 applies. That it's cold and wet is irrelevant. It's after March so short sleeves and shorts needed.

[Spike on a bike]

Been fine here too
Haven't actually got any long sleeved stuff

It has been a bit windy, and there have been some disappointing cloudy, wet days, but I have been able to cycle enough in the sun to get a tan and be 200 miles ahead of my target for this stage of the year. Compared to the awful summers of 2007-2011, this has been a pretty good one so far!

Not been a bad summer so far in Norfolk. I think the problem is Location Location Location.

Bit windy here though. Far too easy not to notice the sun strength until you're burnt.

 

[coffeejo]

It's still summer, rain or shine.

Hubster is supposed to slap on Factor 50 every day of the year. He is a transplant patient so some of his meds make his skin less resistant to UV, even though he is back on the transplant list, he still has to wear it. I just slap Factor 50 on and try to set an example. Happily, I have not been burned since 2007 (gardening, more sun that I realised, very mild reddening on the back of my shoulders) Sunscreen is a habit with me.
