> The weather is not a safe subject in Australia, perhaps like Canada? (so much stupid snow!)~ It seems a constant topic here. Many many conversations begin with a comment on the weather...bank teller conversations, store cashier conversations etc etc. We seem sorta obsessed with it. So we might not like it, but we sure seem to comment on it! At least where I live - it might not be an across-country thing.
