Recent rain getting you down?

Recently we British folk have had a week or so of wonderful, heavy rain. Yes, I know it isn't snow (thanks to global warming) and we Brits love to moan about the rain. So, if the reacent weather is getting you down, here are a few reasons i came up with to be greatful for the rain:

- if you live in the south of England, then what are you moaning about??? After all, you lot moaned when you had the drought this summer (us northerners don't get droughts as we have hills and mountains!) so you should be bloody greatful for a bit of rain to refill water reserves.
- makes a nice change from the endless heat of summer- try studying for your A-Levels in 30 degree heat!
- a nicley full river is a healthy one, lots of water for our reservoirs and vegetation
- a bit of rain keeps the townies of the hills, allowing the peat bogs to re-saturate and the tarns to re-fill
- doing work, be it homework or other, is far easier if it is vile outside.
- at least it does rain, unlike some countries like Spain or in parts of Africa where they don't get much at all.
I hope that should cheer oneself up, just need some bloody snow now!
