"The current weather forecast suggests that for the first time in living memory, much of Britain might actually have several hours of sunshine this afternoon..
As this astonishing news may have caught you off-guard and unprepared, we present a quick Metro guide to What To Do When The Sun Comes Out"
My favourite parts include:
"Do not panic... it's worth remembering that in many other countries, the appearance of the sun is in fact considered 'normal'. Indeed, historical records show that this may not be the first time the sun has appeared in Britain."
"Waterproofs, hats, umbrellas: what to do with them... Accounts of previous sunny days in history suggest that it is traditional, at the first appearance of any sun, for the British to remove as many items of clothing as local laws permit and then lie around trying to pretend that the wind isn't actually a bit chilly."
"Dine 'al fresco'... A favoured pastime amongst the populations of Mediterranean countries, 'al fresco' literally translates into English as 'sitting at a wonky table on the pavement wondering when its going to start raining'".
Just the same, I'm still open to offers of work and couches to sleep on in other countries.
