I'll say one thing, I'd rather be delivering in the sunshine than the monsoon conditions that our Northern cousins are experiencing now.

And it gives me an excuse to crack open another beer, to replenish the lost fluids :whistle (obviously, not while I'm at work, though it has crossed my mind)

My shoes finally dried out from Wednesday... with a little help from some newspaper 2 nights on the trot.

Either that, or you are completely oblivious to what a prat it makes you look.

Your right - its floppy as the floppiest thing imaginable. It looks as though even a humid day the brim will collapse.

I tried to "dinger" it like we did in the forces and it could not even keep its shape to do that properly. Now rotting in my locker at work.
