164. Song of the Weather (Flanders and Swann)

It's not surprising that so many expatriates in Asia have no desire to return to England, if the weather is really as bad as it is described in this song.

Michael Flanders (1922-1975) and Donald Swann (1923-1994) wrote many humorous and satirical songs. This one is from their two-man revue, "At the Drop of a Hat", which was recorded in 1960.

Our weather sure beats living through the flooding that monsoons bring to many Asian countries. Just another way to have a dig at the UK I see. Don't like it here? Piss off then!

Flanders and Swan were English!

Sorry, that was a mistake, I didn't mean to press the 'spam' button!

[raymondcrooke]

I would never have noticed!

@TheMG63 Just another opportunity to spout your right wing nonsense? You seem to have had the gentle humour recognistion bypass also. Don't take it so seriously!

Very nice yesterday, though, wasn't it?

Spring!

Missed it last year; I was in the bathroom.
