Ten reasons why it's been p***ing with rain for days

At number 1 (obviously)
Because the Met Office said it would be a heatwave
2. Because British Waterways issued a 'worried about low water levels' press release
3. Because there's an Ashes test series
4. Because loads of Brits worried about the Euro booked UK holidays instead
5. Because I'm trying to take lots of photos
6. Because I only packed tee-shirts
7. Because we bought a barbecue
8. Because it's a government plot to take our mind off swine flu
9. Because we're on a narrowboat cruise.
10. And because a British summer wouldn't be the same without it!
