I will post one thing though before I go back into lurkdom and hope
it will be useful.

Thank you and may I say that I hope it's absolutely wrong!! ;-)

Groannnnnnnnnn so do I!!!!

Purely as speculation someone else said that to me today - about a bad
winter, I mean. His belief is that, having had a good summer, we'll now
get a hard winter! I don't think 'optimism' is in his dictionary!

Not sure about that. From the posts here not everyone has had a good
summer. Well, not ideal anyway!

I find it quite amusing that the new definition of 'a good summer' is -
what - 5 weeks of sunshine!

Now when I were a bairn ...

Seems that way to me, too. In memory, every day was spent on the beach
with friends. We were rarely out of the water!
