    It's still warm enough to make shorts,

    Do you also repair them? There's a hole in a pocket in a pair of mine that could do with some fixing.

    Summer is until Christmas sales start. 116 days before Christmas by the way...

    Meteorological summer ends at the end of August, so yes, today is the last day of summer.

    It's because we're so far west - takes longer for autumn to fall in the rest of Europe.....

    It's this silly idea that we should stick to pagan seasons.

    Today is climatically not Autumn, it's still Summer and will be until mid September.

    Met Eireann also have summer as June, July August.

    A lot of it stems from people's belief that February 1st is the first day of Spring.

    Pagan seasons would end and begin with the equinoxes and solstices, would they not...?

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    That's another thing, cyclists. One time a fella rode a bike , tuck the right leg into the sock and off you go.Now you have to dress up like a Christmas tree with lycra, helmets, tights gloves etc and head down over the handlebars as if you were in the Tour de France.:rolleyes:

    The bike may be a 'Christmas tree' in the darker months so drivers can see me. Lycra doesn't flap and slow you down like regular clothing. The helmets can be useful too on occasion. That one spill I had made me damn glad I was wearing gloves. And if you need to wonder why people on bikes crouch down then I can only assume the Nobel prize for physics will not be straining your mantelpiece anytime soon.

    One time a fella driving a motor used to wind up the engine with a crank by the radiator in front and put on goggles to drive around the countryside squeezing the rubber bulb on a brass horn like Mr. Toad in Wind in the Willows.

    Forgive me if you still do this and my analogy is misplaced.
