Any time there’s warm and humid weather.

Did someone come down in the last shower of rain or something that they’ve never heard that before?

  Surely we should be voting yes – I’m not sure the Brits will give us a good deal on d spuds if ours are rotten. Sure we know how much help they were the last time. Although we might be a bit less reluctant to take the soup this time.
