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!

Should be fine with the right gear and a puddlesuit.

Bliss.

What a supremely ridiculous post! Did you even bother reading my post properly - and the one I was responding to?!!!

I am also in Oz (Perth) and we have only had 21.8 mm of rain since October, the lowest on record. I can't say I've missed the UK rain, especially after reading this thread.

And I responded to her, saying of COURSE her weather has been better than the UK, and nice and dry since October, because it's been Spring and Summer in Australia, and it's been Autumn and Winter in the UK!

I know Australia has 'different climate zones' ... I'm not fucking thick. But this has naff-all to do with what I was saying. Different climate zones make no difference to the fact that it was still Spring and Summer in Australia, and it was Autumn and Winter here in the UK. So err, yeah, the weather IS going to be better in Australia over Spring and Summer, than in the UK over that period. No matter where in Australia you are.🙄

Your comprehension skills are shocking mate! #cringingforyou

!

Well no, it isn't bliss.
Will you be on the summer haters thread if and when we get some warm weather?

Well it's autumn in NZ and we are still in a drought. It was 23 degrees here at 8.30 am. Just because it is autumn/winter in the southern hemisphere it doesn't mean we are having constant rain!! No matter how bad the winter weather in Australia it is nothing like what you are experiencing at the moment. Your comprehension skills aren't so great if you think that the weather in UK is the same as everywhere else.

I hear you.

3 horses. Totally fed up. Muddy lake now in the field that smells putrid.

Desperado for dry weather now.

Mountain rescue😂😂 my back garden in the mountain! I have no need for SAR.

Yeah, because it's sooooooooooooooo easy to just pack up your whole life, career, family, and everything you know and trot off to the another part of the world. Upheaving your childrens lives and leaving family and friends behind 'because it's a bit sunnier!'

People do it all the time you know. We all live on Coronation Street. Just walk into a new place/new country and get a new job, and somewhere to live within 17 minutes. And life is so perfect there, exactly like it was on holiday. Everyone will love you, people love nothing more than people coming from abroad to stay in their towns, and make a new life there. They are always made welcome. And you will just walk into a lovely shiny career that pays 15 times what you earned in the UK!🙄

Meanwhile in the real world, where most people live.................!

Also, I love and care about my family and friends too much to leave the UK. I would only leave if I had no-one here who meant anything to me.

No. Why, will you?

im out in all weathers. Why does rain make people scared to go out?

No such thing as bad weather just bad clothes.

Pardon?

Oh my God I give up. 🙄 I never said Oz/NZ had constant rain in the Autumn/Winter. I said to a poster who lives in Oz - who said the weather there had been better than ours in the UK since October - 'Of COURSE the weather has been better for you- than us in the UK since October, because you have had Spring and Summer over those months, while we have had Autumn and Winter!'

You are ANOTHER one with poor comprehension who is not reading my posts properly.

I am not engaging with anyone else on this. I don't know how many more fucking times I can repeat myself!

@CeriB82

i presumed you were joking, you know taking the piss

Err, that's what PP was saying. I think you've misread/misunderstood her post, which is ironic given your little dig at her comprehension..!

Nope, I agree with @LuckySantangelo35 Classic Mumsnet!

I'm not scared of rain, but walking in sideways rain when the temperature is in single figures and everywhere is muddy is just not enjoyable, even when wearing weather appropriate clothes.

The vast majority of posters on this thread agree with me. I hate being cold. It makes me miserable.

I don't understand why you don't get it.

I love summer and proper summer weather.

Exactly!

@Jumpers4goalposts

you are wrong

Nobody said it was easy, but it's nice to be reminded that it is possible. We don't all have kids, or family and friends that we're close to. The only thing keeping me here really is a stable career.

THANK YOU! 👏

It's just the 'just move abroad' thing that jarred me. Because the vast majority of people cannot do that. And most don't WANT to .. The UK weather has been shit for MONTHS, but I still wouldn't live anywhere else. Nope.

Why is it so hard for some people to just admit that we are having bad weather?!

it’s so weird

its not as if the weather is some sentient being - it’s doesn’t need you to defend it

if it’s shit it’s shit and people can say it all they want.

Agree. Ugly waterproof clothes are so very bad. Hate wearing the stuff!

Miserable in the northwest. I’m a dog walker and my van conked out last week and I’m now having to walk/bus between houses and walk the dogs separately instead of in groups. This morning I was soaked through to my underwear before I even reached the first bus stop! That with 4+ hours of walking ahead!

I live very rurally and can walk on mountain

Be more specific then.

If it helps, I moved to a different country with much better weather and while the weather is different, it comes with a host of other problems. Sometimes I long for home - even with the never ending grey & rain!

And people are even fatter and more depressed here too!
