True, but I think it's fair to say we haven't had one defaulting to this
extent that often in the last 15 years!

!5 years, you say. Hmm. I think it's a good few years less than that,
although this may be because I'm an ingrained pessimist about British
weather. Someone out there must have a statistic!

The fabulous March hasn't helped either - I think there is a perception
that summer started in April after that, giving the impression that the
summer has had almost three poor months already which of course is not
the case!
