Always Take the Weather With You...
...whether you want to or not!
Why is it that people always want to talk about the weather? I know it's quite important, but it's not as if no one knows about it. If you bump into someone in the street and say: "Isn't the weather bad?", what are they going to say? They're hardly going to reply: "I don't know I haven't noticed", as their umbrella blows inside out!
I worked in a shop in Ireland over the summer, and my goodness do they enjoy revelling in miserable weather! To be fair, it was awful weather pretty much every day, but I didn't expect EVERY customer to talk about how rainy it was.
When I wake up now in the mornings, it's on the radio. Turn on the TV and it's on there too. Go into the shop and whatever cheerful soul serves you will ask you if it's cold out! The answer is always yes. Even Facebook is littered with status updates saying how cold people are!
So why are we so obsessed with weather? I suppose because it affects what we do, how we feel, how we dress. But I think one solution to make ourselves feel a bit less miserable about it is to not talk about it! Wrap up warm, bring a brolly and wear a smile on your face. Whatever the weather, make your topic of conversation how great the economy is in this country...
...oh wait!
