rory, what's that special scottish word which means something when it's cold, grey, gloomy, and raining?
I don't know.
What is it?
Summer.
Aw, that's so mean.
Yes, dear listener, so, as you know, in Scotland, they don't have any summer.
Shall we talk about the weather?
Yes, let's.
What's the weather like in your country?
I suppose the stereotype is that scottish weather is quite dismal, since we're in the north and we're surrounded by two seas and an ocean, but actually it's quite varied.
We have sunny days in the summer with the occasional chilly breeze, I'll concede, and snowy winters, though I suppose with climate change they're less common now, but we still have them.
Do you like the weather in your country?
Well, I'm not overly fussed about it because I live in Russia, and it's not like in Russia, where, you know, weather can seriously mess up your day.
