    I can't for my 31 years remember a ****tier summer than we have just had.
    Depressing weather not 3 good days in a row and a major let down.

    Someone mentioned to me this week that their kids were going back to school and I just thought "that's a crappy summer over"

    True, some of the old farmers (in their 80s) round here have said this is the worst they ever remember!
    Yesterday some places in the UK broke records for the coldest August morning ever (well since records began, I'm sure there colder ones during the Ice age).

    TBH I can't remember one good Summer since 2006!

    I started running this year, and I found it easy because I didn't have to endure high temperatures during races - it was always cool, windy or raining buckets much to my delight :D

    I live abroad but visited Ireland for 1 week over the summer. 5 of the 7 days were great. 3 of them spectacular! Must have gotten lucky :)

    Quit moaning. It's Ireland - it rains about 87% of the year.

    Move country if it bothers you that much.

    You have a very short memory, OP, the summers of '07 and '08 were much, much worse with torrential rain for days without a break.
