Welcome back to the Independent Republic of Mike Graham right here on Talk TV. It is a ghastly Monday morning.

And I'm just saying to somebody a moment ago how I'm not feeling particularly full of the joys of spring this one.

I don't know why it is. I think it's partly to do with the weather. I don't normally care what the weather's doing, but in July, surely to God, it should be a little bit warmer, a little bit less wet, shouldn't it? I mean, if you wanted it to be like that, you'd be living in Manchester, which is not where

we live, we live, we live in London, which was last year at this time basking in 40 degree heat.

Anyway, that's enough about the climate change nonsense, because Peter Hitchens is here, and we're

not going to talk about that.

Well, we may do later on.

I actually like this weather. Yeah, I do. Yes, I do. I sleep well. It's cool in the

evening. Yeah. The, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, it's

it's very green. It's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's, we have had a period when it's been too hot in the summer, but this is more like... I mean, you're right. I don't like it when it's too hot.

But it would be nice to have...

I mean, I was out for dinner last night,

and I did quite enjoy sitting outside this restaurant in Borough Market,

watching the people walking past, and it was not raining, and it was quite balmy.

I quite like that.

It's beautiful yesterday, and then then you got a bit of rain. I don't know why people complain. We have the most temperate and enjoyable and civilised climate in the world.

Yes.

But the world's on fire, Peter.

Do you not know that?

Well, it is on the BBC.

Yeah.

But we're not on.
