Where is this Indian summer?

[HairyArsedBloke]

It could be that I am suffering from my delusions again, but I am sure I heard the weatherman saying earlier this week that it would be fine by Friday; I am sure he used the phrase 'Indian Summer.'

It's 'orrid outside.

Can't blame it on the Bobs - wrong sort of Indian.

The mozzies are still hanging on, here on the mainland.

I just cleaned my glasses and it still looks foggy outside. Can someone confirm fog before I go to the opticians with suspected cataracts.

Where is this Indian summer?

The phrase 'Indian Summer' is often mistakenly thought to refer to the Indian subcontinent, in reality it refers to the Indians (more correctly called Native Americans) living in the Canadian wilds north of the Arctic circle, where, it will not surprise you to learn, it is effing cold.

So there you have it; 'Indian Summer' explained.

Next week on "Why, Wobby, why" I'll be looking at back-to-front phrases like 'believe you me'.

Really enjoying this thread but I need to take a tulip. Back in 20.

Perhaps it's been offshored, with or without Bob's help.

Perhaps it's been offshored,

Probably. They always take the nice things away.

It's in Wales.

It was bound to be somewhere in the third world.
