The thing about the old "rotten English Weather" isn't even about the amount of rain (and being from Derbyshire I get more than everywhere else in England except Cumberland), but the fact that it's always dull and overcast, and even if it looks fine you have to pack plenty of waterproof clothing in the likely event of another downpour.
However to be slightly more optimistic, I remember reflecting whilst being drenched watching the Pageant that this must signal the end for that hosepipe ban hitting the London folk, which probably only effects one sixteenth of you anyway, but still...

The annual hosepipe ban in the UK must be one of the biggest jokes on the calender, I mean its not like we lack rain throughout the year.
