I have, so far, managed to studiously avoid all sport related televison over the last few weeks. Currently it is football, shortly Wimbledon starts and then the Olympics. Now, I am not adverse to watching sport, but the relentlessness of what is to come is enough to drive me to distraction. Television companies are labouring under the assumption that we all want to watch various sporting events ad nauseum, and are shuffling the schedules so that we will have no idea where our favourites tv shows will be. As a license payer, it would be nice to be consulted, but large corporations never consult their customers.
I blame all this sporting activity for the wonderful weather we are experiencing at the moment. I know that the British have a weather obsession (or perhaps it is a fetish), but really this year the summer, so far, has been a complete wash out. By that I mean wet, windy, cool and did I mention wet? There have been floods in parts of the country with more on the way, which have followed hard on the heels of hosepipe bans. Definately crazy!
