Frazz by Jef Mallett for September 24, 2022

We resemble that remark ….

I’ve heard there are places in the British Isles that get dry, cold and crisp. Probably in Scotland somewhere…

It’s 97 here…sigh

We were in the British Isles in ’68 in late September, early October and it rained 28 out the 32 days we were there.

When it’s cool and crisp, some of them feel very chipper.

I wouldn’t think they’d get a lot of Canadian air in Britain.

Ahh, yes; the cool Canadian air. How well I remember the 100° F clear, and cloudless days sitting on a lake in northern Ontario wishing for a breeze more than a fish. There are days when the moisture from the Gulf doesn’t just end in Minneapolis.

Love crisp northern Canadian weather, it keeps the scorpions, the rattle snakes, the tarantulas away. Up here, if it’s going to kill you, at least you see it coming,… most times.

Eh?

They call French fries “chips” and potato chips “crisps”. And then they get snippy at us Americans for trying to improve this cockamamie language they foisted on us!

Try ‘sharpish’ – that’s what a British man commented to me one time about that kind of weather.

With some, do not call breakfast pancakes flapjacks!

This ’toon reminds me (indirectly) of that popular Canadian jazz tune, >i>"Take the Train, eh"

Probably “crisp.” A lot of English words have multiple meanings. Try looking up “set.”

That describes a beer!

I watched so many British shows on PBS lately that I got a craving for Scotch shortbread biscuits and a “cuppa”.

Still in the 90’s during the day and high 70’s at night.

Cool they got. Dry, not so much.

It makes no more sense to speak of Canadian weather than it would to speak of US weather.
