It's been pretty good down here near Gatwick.  A few showers today but I just worked through them.  I did finally pack up about 3.30 but I'd had enougfh by then anyway.  I don't mind workinbg up to moderate rain but I've no intention of getting drenched when I'm up to date with my work anyway.
These darned droughts are getting on my nerves  :)

We had a few long showers today, and I wasn't able to start until gone 10am.

Still did a reasonable day in 3 hours or so though. ;D
God, works easy now.

This isn't a very wet spell.
I don't know what people are moaning about. I've known far worse, last November for a start.
I only got rained off on monday last week.
Every other day was dry and bright.

I'm fed up of old bags saying "terrible weather!" while I'm stood there in the sun in a t-shirt. ::)

The weather hasn't been as good as it could be, but it is not continuously raining. We work through the rain, but stop with the extreme heavy downpours. Are you guys who say that you wait till it stops actually going out and sitting in your vehicle or waiting at home till it stops? Makes a difference! ;)

I try not to go home if it starts raining because I find it really hard to get myself motivated to go out again as and when it stops. I tend to park up and find a cafe or a bookies.

I'm not saying I don't work in the rain...just that I won't start a job in the rain.

Because of bad weather. I offered my customers inside cleans instead, this was just to make the money still coming in.
It worked ok with around 85% going for it
