The British really do have a passion for summer…………….

The first sign of a mere sun ray and we rush out to buy a new BBQ and a table and chairs for the garden. Upon using it, by the time the meat has cooked we have to go inside and put a jacket on, because the clouds have gathered and the temperature has dropped.

Only the British still pull out those shorts they bought in Primark 5 years ago and proudly wear them to the supermarket to buy their beer, not to mention the Hawaiian shirt that Aunty Gladys brought back from Benidorm in 1994

And on those rare occasions that the British sun does shine, we all head for the coast together, only to find the traffic is grid locked and half of us never make it.

There is so much to look forward to for Summer 08, first round eliminations at Wimbledon, a waterlogged Glastonbury, queues for fuel and not even the possibility of winning Euro 08

We love summer

                                       Because we’re British
