Poxy Weather

[Lancs Lad]

looking at the number of members on line this evening -- and throughout the day today ....... I'd guess the weather is as sh1t around the country as it has been here all day
had the heating on last night - again - and monsoon/stair-rods rain all night.... July be bolloxed - - - grass'll be growing like f**k and too wet to do anything about

Down in Surrey...shite then nice ..repeat.
Been better in Lancs lately tbf which is unusual..

Shite here in Devon, wash out summer I reckon.

the adage here is if you can see abergavenny its around 15 mins till it rains ,if you can't see aber its 7 mins

lived in Raglan for a few years, between Aber and you (for them's don't know the locale) ...
totally different weather - own microclimate there ..
low rain fall and usually 100% better than Aber, weather-wise

Wales - on a clear day, you can see the rain coming.
