Crazy British Weather

As a British citizen,  have a duty to uphold the internationally renowned reputation of talking about the weather. I have pretty much talked about the weather in every single post, so I am not going to start to change that.

And the thing is, as a society, our natural instinct is to talk about the weather. There is nothing anybody can do about it. When we try and have a conversation with somebody without making reference to the weather, there ends up with awkward silences until somebody spurts out THE phrase... "Bloomin' weather can't make up it's mind."

And unfortunately this is just something that us brits will have to live with for the rest of our existence  We can't have a conversation without talking about the weather. End of.

I have tried to think of the reasons why we always talk about the weather, not least always moan about the weather...

And there aren't really any reasons why. I mean yes in Britain we can go through all 4 seasons in 1 day, and the weather is, to quote, 'very changeable' but that doesn't give us an excuse to talk about the weather so much.

And it isn't like there isn't plenty else to talk about. I think it just boils down to tradition. People have always talked about the weather as a way of creating small-talk, and that is how we now think. We have to use the weather as a conversation starter, so that is what we do.

But hey, that's what makes us British.

It's too hot for me. I mean I like it warm but this is too sticky for me...

And they are biting, little things are biting...
