English Weather ??
With ever unpredictable weather we have here in the UK i read this little joke today which i chuckled to myself. It is right on so many levels that what we use to associate to be English is being lost. Even the weather.
I'm not sure whether you heard that the South African Weather Bureau were rapped over the knuckles recently for referring to last month's untimely cold and rainy spell as "English weather".
After a long bosberaad (meeting), a spokesman for the SA Weather Bureau apologized for offending his English counterparts and announced at a press release that the term "English weather" would never again be used to describe inclement weather. The new name for bad weather will be "Muslim weather". A baffled member of the press contingent asked the spokesman to please explain.
It is very simple, the spokesman replied. English weather is now referred to as Muslim weather as it is partly Sunni but mostly Shi'ite.
Thanks Free Market Fairy Tales.
