Editor’s letter I
think I wrote too soon on my last editorial column. I just read it back, eulogising about the beautfiul British weather. Now
this is more like it; outside we have thick grey cloud, flood warnings and days full of endless rain. That’s the Britain I know and love!
The country is in a state of readiness, it seems, with
the Olympic Games looming really large on the horizon, plus the Eruoepan Championships, oh and a British team in the Champions League final. I’m sure there are other sports too, but they’ve slipped my mind momen- tarily. The only question is, what will the weather be doing this summer? Answers on a postcard, please.
