I told her off while at the same time thinking she may just be right. Maybe life really is better in places where the sun shines on a continual basis.
I like a sunny day but if it doesn't rain we dry up and become prunes. Did you know that 70% of you is water, WES? The aquifers around London are running dry because we've had relatively little rain over recent years. I walk to work and back and very rarely do I have to take a bus or tube because of rain.

It rained almost every day in August 2008, ISTR.
