romulan kid Posted August 8, 2007 Author Share Posted August 8, 2007 Well Rom, I may have mentioned before...I'm ex Sheffield, now living in Argyll, and while the rest of the uk bathed in sunshine the last two days, we've had nowt but rain!! Sorry dont get on much whitehorses, due to being offshore for most of the sodding time or on a boat, makes me smile when they moan about a bit of rain, even though i shouldnt because peoples livelihoods are at stake, once you have got through the first year of scottish rain it makes you a little impervious(sorry for the pun) to the wet stuff... last year we had 27 days when it rained mostly non stop on the islands.... now that was a laugh....

whitehorses Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 Yes Rom, it's amazing how you used to say 'It rained for days' and you actually meant it rained for a couple of hours each day.Now in Scotland, when it rains, it definetely rains.In Argyll in Jan/Feb I think it was, we had 29 days of rain, in fact the swans were swimming down the pavements and into the pubs! Oh well, looking on the bright side...we don't have droughts and hosepipe bans like we did in Yorkshire! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
