Well for once it's not us complaining about the horrific weather, as them lot across the pond went into a social media frenzy earlier when some rain hit today in London. It was pretty bad though in fairness, with lightening hitting the famous Shard building. You know the one, big pointy thing, probably too pointy... looking for trouble.
London has been enjoying high temperatures these last few days and basking in some summer sun, so understandably this storm, however brief, came as a bit of a shock to them. Let's just hope it's not heading our way any time soon...

And of course the obligatory hipster tweet...
Don’t mean to be hipster about this, Londonders, but we had the insane rain in Maidenhead like an hour ago.
