People who use Farenheit instead of Centrigrade (or Celsius to be precise). Educatated in the metric system 40 years ago. Happily give up miles as well, but this thread is specific to summer.


Please emigrate to isolationist USA and take your Express and Telegraph readers with you.

Ha.


Any other city commuters notice the juggler on London Bridge this morning? He started shouting at the passers-by at one point... "What you lookin' at? It's called f***in' trying! I've been up since 6am too you know!"

They call me Mr Fahrenheit....


 

Glad I'm not the only one looking forward to Autumn!


Awful feet & sandals unsurprisingly gets a unanimous no-no.


I don't believe people look happier in the sunshine, more like hot & bothered & pretty tetchy with it. On that note, I'm going to add insect bites & stinky sun block whilst I'm here.

Things I hate about summer :


Smelly people.

Ladies wearing in appropriate clothes, (i.e. grossly overweight in very small clothes, bending over pram Aaaargh... size 32 shorts and boob tube, blubber hanging over where clothes finish).

Biting midges.

Children in the shops running about when usually (at that time of day), they would be in nursery or school and can be avoided.

Children screaming.

Just children everywhere !!!


I chose the 2 seater sports car, go where I want, when I want option over the joys of motherhood !!

3/10 too obvious.

Sorry for being toooo obvious !!


What about


trying to clean the windows and when you have finished and the sun shines, they LOOK WORSE THAN WHEN YOU STARTED.

Getting home with part defrosted shopping, then when you try to separate the food to cook it, it has welded itself together.

My husband, every five minutes : it's too hot, it's too hot ...

With today's weather, Alan? I am. Rainiest July on record, maybe I will suffer in August with all that hot sun! I'm going to Ireland then so I hope it bloody well rains there ;)



PS Jeremy, you do realise I was not being entirely serious about borage, don't you?

I grew a load of borage because it has pretty blue flowers.


So then for the first time in my life I bought a bottle of Pimms, as what else can you do with borage?


What happened? The f-ing weather changed and it tipped down with rain and then became freezing cold GRRRR :))


The Pimms is still unopened (oh and then my sister informed me that she had a bottle I could have had GRRRR :)) )

I thought I was going to struggle to find anything to agree with on this thread as though there are things that bug me about summer (the odd night when it's too hot to sleep), the longer hours of daylight trump anything the other seasons have to offer.


But this... oh yes. My boyfriend does it. He even admitted he likes doing it to be annoying once. And it is... grrr.


I am off work this summer and it's definitely improved by not having to commute on hot days, although on the sweatiest of days I could almost go in for the air-conditioning.

    • I was woken around midnight the other night as a Lime man tried to untangle a heap of three bikes someone had piled on my driveway. They block the pavements and people knock them over in frustration. I wrote to Lime and told them that in future any bikes left near my property would be securely stored away for collection at a mutually convenient time for both parties. I confiscated one at the weekend but a man knocked on our door looking to rent it while I was at work and my son gave it to him! I told Lime it's not fair of them to push the problem on to the local collection depots, they create the problem by allowing users to dump the things wherever they like. If they were penalized for doing so that would put an end to it.

    • The address is: Bradbury Oak House, 4 Underhill Road, SE22 0AH
    • "2.2.1 The Royal National Institute of Blind People (RNIB) has undertaken a comprehensive consultation process with its residents and stakeholders regarding the proposed development which aims to create 41 additional units and has been designed to address the growing demand for accessible and supportive accommodation for individuals with visual impairments. 2.2.2 The consultation process has been a key part of the planning phase, ensuring that the needs and preferences of current residents are taken into account. RNIB has held several meetings, workshops, and surveys to gather feedback on the design, facilities, and overall impact of the new development. Residents have been encouraged to share their views on various aspects, including accessibility features, communal spaces, and the integration of the new blocks with the existing infrastructure which has directly informed the proposals. 2.2.3 The Applicant also engaged with the local MP, Helen Hayes, and a couple of local councillors at the behest of RNIB tenants to provide new homes to promote independent living for its Blind and Partially Sighted residents"     Seems like a very sensible and necessary proposal to me.
