you get back to your van, soaking wet, you sit down and then realise that all the water from your jacket is running down and soaking your gentlemans area. :hmmmm

Happens to me all the time... :nervous

You know it's raining when you step onto what you think is solid ground only to find that it's weed matting floating in a flooded garden and you're now shin deep in a puddle. But it doesn't matter, because you already have trench foot from the incessant rain all morning so you just carry on walking through said flooded garden to deliver the mail.

on your day off, you look out the window and the ground is wet. :Very Happy
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

At which point you note the bus number and reg plate and get the driver done... Soaking pedestrains by driving through large puddles is a criminal offence, drivers are expected to negotiate around such puddles.

Deganwy is one big puddle today, no road to negotiate around. Some knobber just stopped all traffic to do a 3 point turn causing me to stop in the middle of the water. I felt compelled to show him how annoyed I was about this.

You realise that it will make no difference if you walk straight through that deep puddle as your feet cannot get any wetter - and when you do, the water actually warms your feet up!
