Why me?

It has been sunny all week. Now I have friday off to go Sailing for a long weekend the sun has gone away.

It's just not fair!

You will, of course, have noticed that the weather god smiles /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif on his favourites in the far SW.
Have a look at www.destinationcornwall.co.uk for a real weather forecast for the next few days.

Can't get to the link you posted but we all know Cornwall has it's own weather systems.

I spent 2 weeks holled up in the Cornish rain last year for my so called Holiday then when I left the
Bl)((*y sun came out for a month

Is it true that in Cromwall you have lots of extra names for rain to describe the type? Mizzle for excample?

I'm sure it's me....

 

[Cornishman]

Mizzle was a word concocted by that strange TV weatherman called David Ike, I seem to remember.
I'm sure it's you, too, 'cos the sun shines on the righteous. Please don't come down here for the next 6 weeks at least.

Oops. I left a hyphen out:

'Mizzle' was a word used by Herefordians years before David Ike used it - part of the Hereford local dialect I believe. We lived there for a few years and it always amused me.

'Mizzle' was used to describe misty light rain long before the war in the Gloucester area - a regular word in my Gloucester born grandmother's vocabulary.

Cornishmen dont have it all, you know! /forums/images/graemlins/smirk.gif
