Sick of this fucking weather. No wonder we are all ill and fat.

[Wayofliving]

The heating has been on at home at some point every day for the past 7 months. I’ve no inclination to get out and walk or do anything at all after work. I come home and cook comfort food as there’s sod all else to do. Drying washing everywhere, house always looks untidy.

It’s always cold, dark, rainy, depressing. If we’re lucky we’ll get 2-3 months of a bit of warmth and sunshine before it all starts waning towards winter again.

No wonder there’s lots of bugs and colds around, we’re all indoors all the time! Couple the shitty weather with high costs of living, crap public services and it makes me wonder why I didn't feck off to Australia when I was younger.

No point to this post, just a moan!

The roads are also completely fucked with potholes everywhere.

Brexit has been an unmitigated disaster.

I think people who voted for it were under the illusion it would ''Strengthen the borders to UK''

All it has done is ramp up prices, caused 20% import tax, even from Eire to UK, and there are more Dinghies with illegal migrants in than there EVER were before.

Brexit has been a curse.

Name one good thing about it?

There isn't one.

I'm with you on the strangling although we might not need to resort to that when all their cheerful puddle jumping is brought to a swift end when they see the massive increase in the price of food end of this year into next. It has been HELL this past 8/9 months for farmers trying to sow winter and spring crops. Lambs dying in the endless shit weather. Many farmers are at breaking point. It HAS been the wettest 8 months and it's shit.

Shove your "no such thing as bad weather" bollocks where the sun don't shine. No pun intended.

The water companies actually investing in something? Pigs might fly...

That's because the thieving bastards haven't built one single reservoir since privatisation.

Abso bloody lutely @MelissaLouRocks !!

@Heatherley ..It's been the wettest winter in UK for 130 yrs according to Radio 4.

I agree with food prices...they are going to rocket - imagine horse and cattle feed, too.

Yup, 18 degrees and sunny my a"

The 20th April looks sunny on my weather app... Probably jinxed it now

So totally feel for farmers 😔

On a plus point sandals are down in price.

Whatever you do, don’t any of you buy a bbq or outdoor furniture because that is the kiss of death to any hope of being able to use it!

🤣🤣🤣

I think the countryside in MOST areas is far worse, actually. The majority of rural areas I know have bendy roads with no pavements or street lighting, so they are downright scary to walk along (and terrifying if you time it badly and darkness starts to fall….not so much of an issue right now, but in December the days are very short in the UK esp in the north).

At least in a city you can get some walking and biking in during errands and days-out, even if they are not always that scenic!

Actually, they’ve tried to build reservoirs but residents protest and block the building every time.

Hmmmm, would really love to see some evidence of that.

I'm in Edinburgh, where by April 6 we'd already hit 170% of average rainfall for the month. After ONE WEEK! The March total was 222%. I've made it through the winter and the lack of daylight, but I can't take much more of this endless rain.

As PPs have said, it really pulls down the mood when everything else is going to shit.

YANBU

we always take this week off work and my fb memories are full of us going on walks, picnics etc. no chance this week

Believe it or not, there are countries where you don't freeze to death, or die of heat stroke, but the weather is still much nicer than in the UK.

At least the days are getting longer. The rain is annoying but for me there's nothing worse than months of darkness. I have to fight to get out of bed every morning in January, it's absolutely awful. Then you get in from work and have no energy because it's already pitch black outside. Give me any weather but spare me the horrible short days.

In the 1940s there were very cold winters with frozen waste pipes on houses.
In medieval times as well as Black Death there were some years with no sun therefore no harvest.
At least we are spared those extremes

Thankful for small mercies eh 🥴🥴

Give over. What’s that got to do with anything? We can’t have a rant about the incessant rain here, because other countries have it so much harder? You can also freeze to death or die of heat stroke in the UK - it’s happened.

Whoop whoop keep posting anything that proves you’re doing better in the micro climate that is Bristol 😎

I want to, but my wheelchair isn't waterproof and the rain would mess up the battery. If I get wet, I get ill. Not all of us can just go out.

It rains, it’s windy, the suns out, it’s cold, it’s hits, it’s snowing. Doesn’t matter, just get on with life and stop moaning. It doesn’t do you or the people around you any good whatsoever.
