Great BBQ today
Sometimes things in the papers might not be completely true. You might not have noticed?

That's just disinformation to try and keep Australians away! 
Annual rainfall where I live is lower than in parts of Morocco.

Is that because it doesn't rain in your bedroom?

Re: weather in Britain
The weather in my native Finland must be even worse. The biggest difference must be that -- in Britain -- the beer is good, which I cannot say about the thing they consume and call 'beer' in Finland. And it is raining here in Thailand as well -- the rainy season, you know.
I have learned from my mistakes, and I am sure I can repeat them exactly.
Re: weather in Britain
Yep, most English and Irish Beer (and Guinness) is fantastic. We export our worst beer (Fosters) and worst wine (such as Jacobs Creek) to the UK and they still drink it though! When I visit UK Im drinking English real ale there and my mates who live there drink Fosters. Cant work it out!

All Fosters sold in the UK is brewed here.Taz wrote:We export our worst beer (Fosters) to the UK

Re: weather in Britain
You've just opened the can of worms talking about weather 
.
Yesterday, at night, we had 12 miserable degrees (Celsius) where I live. I was out walking my two Yorkshire Terriers and I was COLD. In bloody June
.
We had the rainiest winter I can recall. In fact, we had the rainiest winter since there are records (which takes us 70 years back), and right now, for every sunny day with decent temperatures (21º C out there right now, and sunny) we get three or four of lower-than-should-be temperatures and... rain (expected to arrive tomorrow).
The north of Spain is known for being a bit different than the rest of the country. It's greener, it's more humid, it's got more mountains, a Celt background and rains much more than in the rest of the country. Too bad if you live here and can't bear bad weather, and I'm able to cope with it, but there are limits. Can't wait to get my holidays and head south. Enough is enough.
This said... during the four times I have been in Aussie soil, I can confirm that Foster's is not the most popular one over there, although I found VB (Victoria Bitter) to be worse than Foster's. Can't talk about English beers since I haven't been (shame on me) in the UK outside of Heathrow airport...
By the way, Taz, your local Cascade stuff is pretty decent

All beer is better than toilet duck I say.
Re: weather in Britain
I don't know if that helps, YY ... But now I can understand why so many people from the north of Europe head south for retirement . I love it over here and prefer it over the south for a good number of reasons, but too much rain is too much rain. Guess I need to dry out some .

Re: weather in Britain
Up here in the NW of England we've had about 10 days of good weather in a row.. People are actually starting to use the term "heatwave"....I refer to think of it as "not raining" which is just as rare... But since getting my pcx125 Jan last year this has been the best run of riding weather we've had and it's been fabulous. It makes me very jealous of you people living in warmer climes who call this "normal" !
Re: weather in Britain
Its too hot here, I fucking hate summery weather.

Re: weather in Britain
It was 20 ° C here yesterday and its supposed to be mid winter in the coldest part of Oz. Hands were getting sweaty under the winter thinsulate gloves.
Re: weather in Britain
Around 23-25 in the north of Spain. Couldn't be happier and it hasn't rained for the last two weeks. Can't believe it.
Sometimes I feel like moving south to a warmer place, but I like it too much over here. Only thing I don't like that much is... the weather. But it's nice in the summer. When everyone else is roasting their asses we have a lovely temperature, and it doesn't get too cold during winter. It's just that bloody and too frequent rain.

Re: weather in Britain
I saw a commercial for Guiness Black Lager, at least I think it was lager, I may be wrong about that. Guiness has always been one of my favorites. Boddingtons as well though I don't know if that's considered a good beer where it's brewed.
