I think it was throwing in the surfing that got it. I also think that enough people wanted to do stuff that they kind of shared it out so there might be a few people there!
I just read that some guy high up in the Church Of England has said that all the rain recently is God's punishment for new pro-gay laws being introduced. If God is so powerful why didn't he just write "No poofs up here" in the sky or something? He's always got to be so ambiguous about it.
Dunno why he focussed on Sheffield especially. Perhaps he'd just watched The Full Monty.
No sign of the weather improving by Thursday evening either...
