Is the staying-in-bed part critical to that? The last few times I've
been to England, it's only rained a few times. Granted, I've always
come during your summer, but even so, the rumours suggest that rain
should still be plenty common. We've happily driven a costume rack
down the A53 (twice - once empty, once loaded, if I recall correctly),
without worrying about rain. There were a few times when the terrain
was treacherous (imagine this: you're at the top of a moderately-steep
(probably 1 in 10-20) of rough concrete or asphalt, depending on which
part you jog down, and it's been greased up by vehicles standing
there, and then rained on; and you need to run down it at full speed,
catch the porta-cabin before it closes for the last time this year,
get the DVDs that were being run off for you, and run back up at full
speed, all before a ceremony begins), but other than that, it's been
pretty dry every time we've been there.

But we don't stay in bed much.
