Barbecue Summer


So the British Met Office is contrite about it's "long-term forecast" of a "barbecue summer" issued in June.

These people allegedly run the most powerful supercomputers but seem incapable of giving an accurate forecast one day ahead. Jerome K Jerome issued a warning in his gentle comic novel Three Men in a Boat on the fraud of weather forecasting 120 years ago. Plus ca change.

The Met Office cavil that the weather will not improve in August. Right then, where should I purchase the high-factor Ambre Solaire?
