I really want to take a self indulgent moment and use this space to complain about people complaining. Because I'm sick of it.

Firstly, although I worry it somehow marks me out as anti-British, I'm sick of people complaining about the weather; but I'm ESPECIALLY sick of people complaining about people complaining about the weather.
