Surf N Turf Posted January 3, 2013 Author Share Posted January 3, 2013 Yeah. Because you're all Brits doing the talking. It's a little known fact that some other nationalities (probably obscure amazonian tribal peeps) sometimes have gatherings in which the weather IS NEVER MENTIONED!!!!!! It beggars belief. Although once I think I went to a BBQ with my fellow countryfolk in which it only got a casual mention. Extraordinary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When it gets to extremes, as it did heat wise in many places yesterday, then yes it's a topic of conversation. Floods, fires and all the rest are newsworthy. But in day to day interactions? It felt like an extension to saying hello in the UK. A greeting would seem to be naturally followed by a comment on the weather. I don't find that so much here. Having said that, this thread was a joke more than a criticism Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
