It happens every year. As soon as it warms up we all decide that eating undercooked sausages in a park is the only acceptable way to spend the afternoon. Unfortunately, the BBQ supply just never matches the demand and you spend most of the day Google Mapping every Tesco in the region in desperation.
Even when you're old enough to know better, there's a strange defiance to suncream in this country.
It's true. Some people see wasps as tiny, flying death machines that will stop at nothing until they've stung every inch of your flesh.
Of course it takes until 20 fully-suited employees melting at their desks for the bosses to realise that the air-con unit is on the blink and probably needs replacing.
The problem isn't so much that they look clompy and ridiculous (although they definitely do), but more the fact that they fly off so damn easily. Deathtraps, no less.
There is quite literally nothing more satisfying than drinking a freezing cold beer in the sunshine. Unfortunately, most pubs just don't have enough benches to go round. Be ready to fight for your place.
We're all suckers for the ice cream van music, and they know it. Much like the once-mighty Freddo, the price of a 99 seems to inflate every year, meaning that quite often you're a few coins short, and when that happens you're forced to relegate your selection to something bang-average like a Mini Milk. It's probably the Tories' fault.
If you know, you know.

So what if they're really intended for small children? If it's inflatable, it's fun. Fact.
If there's one thing that growing up in Britain has taught us, it's that no matter how nice the weather is, there's always a grey cloud or 10 just around the corner waiting to literally rain on our parade. Embrace the sun while you have it, because the most inevitable thing of all is that it won't last forever.Explore more on these topics:
