British Summers..

Whilst I'm here, an old one from some time ago, resuscitated to recognise this great British season

Global warming today
Apparently we are due some hot summers in Blighty in the near future All because of my car apparently...Anyway, todays rant is based on the commonly stated assertion, that if July and August end up as hot as 25 degrees on average everyday, this will be cutting down Englishmen and women in their thousands !!
Now Britain is the only country in the world where Global warming seems to make us more prone to rain and flooding in the winter, so first things first. lets sort out water leaks, fix up the reservoirs, and stop losing millions of gallons of water per day.
Next fit meters to every hose, especially anyone with a swiming pool !!
And then sit back and bloody well enjoy the sun
If our summer weather was any bloody good, we wouldn't burn fossil fuels flying abroad !
As to whether we might find a few old people getting hot....and see a few more skin cancers, have you seen aboriginees and Tuaregs..They all seem to live to a ripe old age.
I don't see Italians dropping dead every time I go to Tuscany, and funnily enough, despite their penchant for dodgy jewellery and falling over and rolling on grass when an English footballer comes within a fifteen foot radius, they are exactly the same physiologically as me..so basically, it's bollocks.
The reason pensioners die in France, and might well over here (old people don't cope with extremes of temp so well ), is that, unlike more family centred countries, we to our shame, seem not to give a toss about our elderly.
