Willy The Londoner:
If as an Englishman you really want to see rain then get to India during the monsoon season.
Then you will really see what real rain and no water drainage can do. Then when it stops raining and the temp is still 40 degrees you would not worry about your shoes as the humidity will destroy any will that you may have to walk anywhere. ;D
Of course when the rain is in full flow then there is more than likely to be no electricity so no fans working.

Can't help it anymore. This is really what they are saying;
Brit #1: It's pissing outside.
Brit #2: Yes but it is pissing more on my side of the shire than yours.
Brit #1: You haven't seen pissing until you've seen it pissing over here.
Brit #2: Yes but it has pissed so much that my knickers have shrunk.
Brit #1: Wellllll.... It has pissed so much that my rubbers got stuck to the pavement.
Brit #2: Where I am at we don't have rubbers to get stuck.
Brit #1: Can I bum a fag?
Brit #2: I gave up fags years ago. Ask Bowser if he as one.
Brit #1: (Silent reflection)... Do you think it has been pissing where Bowser is?
To coin a phrase: Now that there is funny. I don't care who you are. Forgive me Jesus.
;D

Willy, to translate for you, Shaun has actually recorded a conversation from The Lord of the Rings between Frodo and Bilbo Baggins. That is the only explanation for the quaint language on show. "The Shire?" - we're either in Middle Earth or the Middle Ages! Pissing? (translation: pissing down). "Rubbers" getting stuck to the pavement - Don't worry Willy, even in India, it is not possible for your condoms to stick to the pavement when it rains, so if you want to use prophylactics in the rain, don't be scared. Although you may understand "fag' to mean cigarette, bumming one is another rather antiquated expression, more at home in an English Public School in the 1950s (And Shaun, to confuse you further, an English Public School is, of course, a Private school.)

Phillip,
You got the Shire reference correct only because I could not come up with the English equivalent. The rest come from my days working in the oil business in Texas of all places. In our office were four Englishmen, an Egyptian and three Americans. That was a typical conversation daily amongst the Englishmen. Every fricking or should I say fracking day since I am recalling a time in the oil business.
The conversations of epic rainfall reminded me of an earlier time.
I can remember sitting in a restaurant where the uneducated locals worked. One would order a side of biscuits. When they arrived he would go into a tirade about this isn't a proper biscuit. I ordered biscuits. I didn't want a bloody scone.
Come to think of it, even though the subject is on another thread, they preferred to drink Lone Star Beer. If they couldn't get that in a pub they would drink Bud. However if we went to their house it was always room temperature Guinness. It is an enjoyable drink but I always ended up with a hangover.
