Of course it's the global warming. All the air currents have gone haywire, there are tornados up in the north of the UK, most of the south is flooded, Carlisle was flooded a couple of years ago (no one rushed to help us, which is quite unlike a certain flooded area in the south east), and we never get real seasons anymore. Now, unless someone can come up with a better explanation, I'm blaming GW. After all, I never saw such strange weather when I was little.
Yes, good luck, Jack. I hope all goes well for them -- and you.
