I think Sydney is an alias for a very orange former MP. Either that or a wannabe....

Sorry but Summer 2008 is over. Let the trees turn brown, and march forward to Crimbo and New Year and hope that Summer 2009 is better.
Mind you, I remember saying this last year.......

If we didn't have such crap weather what would this paper have to report on ?
Surely we can read better news than what most folk already know.
Anyway, I know I don't want to be reminded about our crappy, wet, pouring rain day in, day out.
It's depressing enough looking out the window to see its pouring again.
Also, theres the public moaning about it, using the rain as an excuse for doing less, not dressing for the weather, or getting soaked & then complaining about it when it's "your" own fault.
Global warming may or may not be to blame, but until people all do more to conserve their energy used, use renewable energy, rechargeable batteries, wind up radios etc.
There are so many ways in which we can all do more for the environment and recycle etc the list is endless.
But, unless we all do more in a small way, accross the community, country, and globe the changing seasons - wetter summers & milder winters will only get worse.

I'm more surprised that none of you monkeys with red rosettes hasn't blamed Alex Salmond and the SNP government for the terrible weather. Oh but then again I suppose you will propbaly use it as an election slogan in the up coming fife by-election - lets face it youv'e got nothing else to play with.

The weather is messed up all over....Here in Toronto, we have also had the wettest summer on record.
I feel sorry for any UK folk who have traveled over the pond for their summer holidays, only to face more rain than at home!
Our problem now is that we have a huge mosquito issue because of the dampness...Bring on the West Nile Virus!

Alan I came over from Glasgow to Ottawa late June to escape the Scottish summer and have done so these last few years, some years Scotland has been lucky (not many I grant you).
This year has been the worse in Ottawa (just up the road from you at Toronto)I have experienced these past 5 years, but hey, it just ain't ever as bad as it gets back home, as I say to people here in Ottawa, if you think the cloudy/sunny weather is bad....go live in Scotland, I'll take warm rain any day to cold.....
I'm hoping they'll be an indian summer back in Glasgow in September when I'm due to fly home again.
