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.

      Plumber recommendation – Mark at Pure Plumbers

      By JessicaCT · Posted

      A shout out for Mark, owner of Pure Plumbers. 07970 971510 They're well established in the Sevenoaks area, but have recently started doing more work in SE London.  Did some v quick and efficient bathroom and boiler fixes for me; have also seen some of the bathrooms he's built, which have a nice attention to detail.

      New Empanada Place on LL

      By beansprout · Posted

      Totally agree regarding not supporting chains. Gail’s was fine but last time I went in Feb this year, actually walked out Fayetteville looking at menu and waiting 15 minutes to even get glass of water and not busy at all. Staff gone down hill - sooner it goes the better… Always prefer to support non chains - so many lovely places with good food to choose from with pleasant staff who know about customer service and sadly, non English which says a lot for our culture, pubs are also becoming abit of a hit and miss affair but maybe just unlucky. At the end of the day all about the chef. Still abit unclear where new place is located - is it down the road from Goose Green where parade of shops are before Peckham Rye?

      Surely only where the local businesses offer clear advantages, otherwise you are rewarding what should be failure. I want to be served by a better bakery than Gail's, not a worse but local independent one. Certainly give a local independent some time to get the offer right, but don't buy goods which are worse and or more expensive just because the outlet isn't a chain.

      Let’s just boycott all chains in favour of local businesses.  Places like Gail’s popping up everywhere has a very damaging impact on small businesses. It’s just the same as the new empanadas place but on a bigger scale. I’ll say it a million times more, we hold the power with our choices. Let’s use our power to look after ourselves and our environment (which includes small local family businesses). And yes, I also love Chacarero.
