Youre not old fashioned, you must be reminiscing!But I would not call 1975/76 normal summers? 1975 was very dry, which made the famous summer of 76 drought stricken and of course some very long hot weeks in that summer , and the global warming theory, youre as confused as everyone else.!
This year, well one thing is certain, {well almost} it will rain at some point at wimbledon!
A more sensible post from me on this topic will be on here very shortly!
