We bought a swimming pool for the kids yesterday (still filling, after almost a day!), and the kids are already in it, as it's already almost 30 degrees here!

This question was asked on this episode of QI, from around the 2.30 mark: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=iS_6SEsOkZs&feat...

Apparently it's all due to industry being closed for the weekend. Forget all this MMGW CO2 nonsense, make factories work Wednesday to Sunday and everyone's lives will be made much better by a nice sunny weekend (but inevitable rainy monday).

Partly. The 5 day working week is is part to blame. Heat generated during this period makes it less likely to rain during the weeks, but more chance at the weekend when cooler. Least, that's what Stephen Fry said on QI.

Mildly annoyed that my karting and BBQ party has been attacked by rain. However, it should make for some entertaining karting, and I guess the BBQ becomes a large order for the local pizza firm.

Industrial activity generates enough heat to affect the weather directly? That sounds like an even bigger pile of cack than the usual MMGW thing.

What you moaning about? It's bloody lovely out there. Only problem is that I'm stuck indoors at work on Saturday Rota.
