What? A UK forum and no WEATHER thread ???

The Irish talk as much (if not more) about the weather as British- even have surveys to prove: www.irishmirror.ie/news/irish-news/irish-weather-60-irish-people-5525639.

ahahah Jalima- but I can assure you lemongrove, that the Brits are realla famous, all over the world, for their talking about the weather.

As a bit of a laugh I Googled ' why do Brits always talk about the weather' and pages, and pages, and more, came up.

Here is just one:

Good one Jalima

I doubt the British are any more interested in talking about the weather than anyone from Northern Europe at the very least.

My sense of humour!

I know, it was really corny wasn't it

But it is Christmas

kerching! Jalima

You could start one jura2
weather or not it will take off is another matter

(sorry, groan everyone)

All the Australians I know chunter on about the weather - and no, they are, in the main, not of British extraction.

The point being that there is not a specifically dedicated thread to 'weather'.

Thanks kitty - thought about this today as the expat Forum I am on is full of 'weather talk'.

lemongrove - anti British? Really? How? Are you saying that the British are not famous worldwide for weather talk? You are funny- and a teeny weeny bit obsessed perhaps???

I am always saying to people all over the world that the idea that the UK is very foggy- that it is rubbish and give historical reasons why this is no longer the case.

Everywhere is "bright and crisp and even" here no rain or snow just how we like it thank you very much.

Well not here Annie, but it is very damp and misty.

Surprise, surprise, it's raining in Wales ?

Everything twinkling and bright here too this evening

I think you might have started a thread like this a while ago jura as I think I remember replying in a similar way.

Here you are jura2 , it comes under the gransnet_cafe

‘The British are famous for their weather talk’ ......uh oh, another antiBritish thread is it jura?
Enjoy your twinkly snow ( but glad we haven’t got any.)

We use the 'Good morning' thread for chatting about the weather, jura.

I think you used to post on that a good while ago.
