As a Brit, I resent that! And plenty else besides. And that's despite the brief window of nice weather we're now having.
Which, incidentally, is too hot, and is making many of us terribly bothered. Some of us even border on the flummoxed.
Still more incidentally, I personally don't have strong feelings on marmalade, but I have very strong feelings on the proper way to prepare a scone. This is an issue that divides my nation. I refer the reader to an article which is about as British as the mind can comfortably conceive:

- dnh44 6y agoI’ve always been amused that people complain about the weather all year long and then when they finally get their week and a half of summer they complain that it’s too hot :)
