If you can't see the hills it means it's raining.

If you can see the hills, it means it's about to rain."

Attributed to your fellow countryman, Mr Richie Benaud I believe Chris....leastways, he used it every year at the Old Trafford test....

I remember what I think is a funny story from when I was living in South Carolina. One day the weather man was off on the radio station I listened to and one of the female DJ's filled in on the weather. She read through it and ended with a 40% chance of rain. You could hear the other DJ talking to her but could not hear what he was saying. It turns out he was telling her to look out the window. It was pouring down rain outside so she amended her forecast to 100% chance of rain.]]> Opinions and Polls Nils https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/our-wonderful-british-weather/#post-140121 https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/our-wonderful-british-weather/#post-140117 Tue, 22 Nov 2005 02:26:12 +0000

If you can see the hills, it means it about to rain. :wink:

You should all move to West Australia. Perfect weather here. :D

Believe it or not, here in Perth we actually get more annual rainfall than say Oxford in the UK. But instead of coming down in endless drizzle it gets on with the job and buckets it down when the time comes.

So we get a lot of beautiful sunny weather, and also some great winter storms.

Oddly enough many people in Perth still act as if it doesn't rain, and you often see people just walking through it as if to say "This doesn't happen here, so I'll just ignore it!"

Despite the fact that it gets cold enough to burn three or four tons of firewood each winter, I still don't own either an overcoat or a raincoat, just a couple of jumpers....... :? We're all mad.....

Here in Lancashire, we get in the shower to dry off....we fill the kettle by holding it out of the window for 0.1 second....if someone round here looks suspiciously sun-tanned, they get asked "You been abroad or gone rusty?"

No wonder Lancashire haven't won the County Cricket Championship since 1934 - that was the last time rain didn't stop play......

Then the temperature will drop suddenly and we'll all slide around on ice for a day or two. Moan moan moan... And then, someone will get on the train in the morning and sneeze germs all round the carriage cos he ain't got the required number of brain cells to stay at home instead of gobbing snot on the desk (where else on this planet are people too busy to take time off sick) and we'll all pass it round the aircon at work and be ill for a week. Same as last winter. Moan moan moan...
