State of the Game

Why do I totally believe that?
Because in Somerset the apples are life, and townie folk don't get that. Not until the cage closes and the flames lick their feet do they understand.

No kidding! My backyard has alligators in it (at least they'd enjoy it out there now), what used to be a pond now looks more like a lake and if it weren't for the last half a week or so I wouldn't remember that the sky had any color other than grey.

Is it really like that all the time over there? <shudder>
How lovely it is fur us English to actually feel smug about today's weather for a change!!! I wonder if there's a word for weather-smugness? Probably in German...

I wouldn't go there. But Edward Woodwood would.

E. Years ago I went on a stag weekend to Devon, and we started drinking at the lads 'local'. High on some moor where we all had a pint of cloudy pub-brewed scrumpy. I hear NASA now use it as rocket propellant!
 
Yes pretty much. I live in France now but when I was in the UK it was always like that. The one bit of excitement came just before I left as we started getting very odd weather- although I missed it we had a funnel cloud over our local garden centre- we took this as an omen and sacrificed more people to protect the harvests.
Ah, funnel clouds! Yeah, they're pretty ominous. You get used to them after a while. Or you move to another state. ;)

Once we had supercell mesocyclones come up from S.France and I was enjoying a coffee on the balcony checking off the cloud structures and types, only to look up and almost see a funnel start spinning up. Where I live we get very cool clouds.
