Did you know that a survey has shown that the British spend nearly six months just 'talking' about the weather. Apparently we are obsessed with the English weather. It's one of the most common ways to start a conversation, which check-out staff at supermarkets have to listen to time and time again.
We spend almost five times a day talking about ti and spend longer discussing it than we do discussing sport or work!!
Women talk about it more than chatting about their men, love lives and gossip and twitter gets around 500,000+ tweets a week about it.
Older people apparently have three times as many conversations about it and still believe in old wives tales, such as , cows sitting down (rain comes) and red sky at night (shepherds delight). These findings prove that we are a nation who is totally obsessed with the weather and how we can go from one season to another in one day.
Oh, and unfortunately the outlook for the Bank Holiday weekend is the usual mix of rain and sunshine. Nothing changed there then.....
