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!

Our Welsh forecaster Derek says it's the worst gales since 2004 -
Mumbles head reached i think about a gust of 67. SO not as long ago as I
had first imagined.
