[ST] OT - Swedes do have a sense of humour!

[Cunningham Andrew <Andrew.Cunningham@xxxxxxxx>]

I found the following in a Swedish text book, designed to help Swedes
improve their written English!

Glossary of Anglo-American weather terms.

Spring:
American - 3 months between March and June when you put your winter coat
away
English - When you switch off the central heating but it remains as cold as
January

Summer:
American - When you turn on the air-conditioning
English - When the rain gets warmer

Drought:
American - Crops die, animals are in danger and water reserves are low
English - Two consecutive days without a downpour

Unbearable:
American - Scorcher, over 100 degrees F
English - Low 70s F, or more than 10 minutes in the room with the windows
closed
