What's life like in the U.K.?

[Norie]

The weather in the UK is brilliant.

Went out shopping early evening, it was raining and windy - almost seemed like you'd get blown over.

Left the store, rain gone but wind still going.

But when I got back home and looked out the window, rain gone, the sky was a lovely clear/darkening blue and the wind had stopped.

Mind you while I've been typing this I can here the wind picking up.

I reckon brilliant could mean mildly moist, but still woolly jumper weather?

'Warm jumper weather'?

It seems to be some sort of macho thing to go about without jumpers or teeshirts, ie barechested.

It normally happens in the summer but I've seen it after sporting events.

Perhaps this is the character building I've heard about, then again perhaps not. More likely a few pints + sport = true men of greatness.

Not for me these days, I guess I've become a little boring.

We've also got broadband.....{snip}...etc.

Just what I can see when looking out the window.

Photo please! I'd like to see what braodband looks like when looking out the window. You might be on to some new-fangled invention - I think other countries use DSL and / or wireless services.......

I knew that question about broadband might come up.

I think it's something to do with elves, they seem to dart about all over the place with IP packages.

In rucksacks and occasionaly pannier bags on their small mountain bikes.

Hi Norie

Aaaahhh! *Penny drops* So that's how the intraweb thingy works......were the pannier bags and mountain bikes Al Gore's invention?

And I thought the gangs of bare-chested sinewy men roamed mist-filled valleys singing in close harmony terrorising the locals, with the requisite half pint of pleghm in their throats to assist with the pronunciation of place names! On second thoughts, maybe that's the Welsh.......
