Quids is being a bit harsh. It's been a bit of a weird one this year, Winter finished this monday, spring is normally pretty fabulous followed by a slightly grey but warm summer with the odd heat wave whereupon EVERYONE goes to London's amazing parks in a bid to see who can get the most disturbing sunburn and get botchelism from raw/burnt sausages on barbecues.


Seriously though London's climate is pretty good, it's in the high eighties (for you non-metric types) with beautiful blue skies and salmon skin today.

> What qualifies as summer in London?




Like many U.K qualifications 'Summer' has been "dumbed down"


So anywhere between May- August technically counts, though the quality has become difficult to define


I hope this helps

Mmmm Salmon skin...


Summer actually doesnt sound too bad. Iowa summers are consistently hot (85-100) with at least one week hovering around the 105+ mark. With stifiling humidity. Combined with the American tendency toward corpulence, it becomes several months of frizzy, sweaty, hot mess.

I don't think you should try and beat anything to death with cornflakes. Anything at all. Just put it out of your head.


Tuna's pretty good in cans and with mayonnaise. The fresh stuff, real fish, is exceedingly disappointing. Chewy and monotonous, and you can't get it in a sock. However, the tin can generate a pretty effective injury both up close and at a distance. Only add mayonnaise if you want to avoid a 'blood' wound.


Summer's great in the UK. It's the same as winter - about 15 to 17 centigrade (much better than German fahrenheit setting zero against some pathetic concoction of ammonium chloride) and it's grey.


They joy is in the people. Brits are really fun, especially in summer. Always a smile and a pat on the bum.

      Annual building work

      By malumbu · Posted

      I wouldn't undervalue your expertise Bob.  When I occasionally have professionals around they always thank me for advice and don't mind the work taking twice the time.  One offered to treat me with an old fashioned sixpence to go to the flicks and go away.  Although even the Plex isn't that cheap.

      Noise from Wide Awake festival

      By malumbu · Posted

      I've got noisy neighbours.  Some are always cutting wood and metal over the weekend and into the summer evenings using mitre saws, angle grinders and the like.  Breaking up concrete with Kangos.  Getting concrete poured or skips changed at 7 in the morning. And then there are those to lazy (they say they are busy) to cut their lawns and hedges cut, so rather than using quieter electric mowers etc the professional do it with motor mowers and electric strimmers.  Then there are the BBQs and outdoor parties, with the loud music and conversations, or the kids' parties the worst culprit has a pool so in warm weather kids swarm round there.  There are noise controls for building work and big DIY projects, but many don't adhere to them.  So much for good neighbours.

      I think the main issue was with the wind - sound waves are physical and will be blown around.
