LOL Bouncer !
I remember the great drought of 1976, when it hardly rained at all. Although it re-started very soon after Dennis Howell was appointed Minister for Drought ! ::::
In 1976, during Britain's driest summer in over 200 years, he was made Minister for Drought (but nicknamed 'Minister for Rain'). Days later, heavy rainfall caused widespread flooding, and he was made Minister of Floods. Additionally, during the harsh winter of 1978–1979 he was appointed Minister for Snow !
Poor old Dennis !

gness..yes you are right !
I recall 1976 very vividly. I was living in a bedsit, on the top floor of a 4 story Victorian house, right under the eaves. I loved that flat. It had a wonderful view over Swansea Bay and there was a trap door in the loft, that you could climb up and actually sit on the roof parapet !
But it used to be cold in the winter and wickedly hot in the summer. In the summer of 1976, I don't think I closed the bedroom window from late April to early September. I had a small fridge in the room with me and the compressor was humming all day and night. Despite have a floor standing fan "borrowed" from the Telephone Exchange (!) my bedsit was still stifling hot.
I slept on the roof on a few nights !
Happy days !
!976 was also one of my "interrail" years. I used to take off for 4 weeks, backpacking around Europe, staying in Youth Hostels, and travelling by train everywhere. The whole of Europe was yellow instead of green, as the rainfall had been so low. I recall travelling in a train following the Rhein, and there was hardly a blade of green grass to be seen.
