Twelve Months Of Perpetual Winter

Echuca would be 14 degrees today, it informed us.

"Double figures in the middle of winter," I said, "Can't fault that really."

The three other Brits in the room concurred.

Just as I was about to stand up and leave the TV announced;

"NORTHERN HEMISPHERE SWELTERS IN HEATWAVE!" The report was accompanied by footage of shirtless men and small children with ice creams, just to hammer the point brutally home.

A stunned silence ensued, quickly followed by muttered obscenities.

I swore at the TV and walked out to scrape the ice off my car.
