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

Nette:-S

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.

    • We both own the freehold. They’re in the maisonette and I’m in the flat. They’re older, so with any luck, they’ll be selling soon. Unfortunately, due to recent events, all of this now has to be disclosed on the TA6 form. Honestly, I’d move out of sheer shame if I were them. Poisoning fruit trees planted for children is just cruel, and they haven’t even apologised. I genuinely wonder how they justify this to themselves. Envy is such a toxic and destructive emotion, and sadly, it often explains behaviour like this. I just wanted to say how grateful I am for the support from so many of you, especially at the East Dulwich Forum drinks and for the kind messages on both this forum and the Nextdoor app. It’s genuinely reassuring to know there are still decent, supportive neighbours around.
    • Hmm, you seem to have an agenda.  I like ait of measured that they have done to promote active travel, improving pedestrian and cyclist safety, whilst improving the streetscape. I avoid making sweeping statements about wildlife management as I don't know enough about their policies, and expect some in Southwark are passionate about what they do. Go along to a relevant local meeting and ask, I doubt if you will change a thing by posting here.  
    • It wouldn't surprise me at all.   The council used to spray the pavements all the time b4 lockdown.  They are probably doing it again.
