This bit of the forum is called MBTTUK = Moving Back To The UK, not the USA.

I think Cheers meant the Walton Family, they own Walmart and the UKs ASDA.

Lovely day today in the South, blue skies & Sunshine so Im off to the beach

----- Friday they say is going to be 83f. and sunny, then we are going to get an Indian Summer,
You know something interesting I heard on the local Meridian News on telly last night, they said contrary to the popular belief ----- an Indian Summer terminology does not come from India but it actually comes from the American Native Indian, I thought that was very interesting, I always thought it was from India.

The expression 'Indian summer' has been used for more than three centuries. The earliest known use was by French-American writer John Hector St. John de Crevecoeur in rural New York in 1778. There are several theories as to its etymology:

In Colonial New England and New York, Indian Summer referred only to a January Thaw, when American Indians Raiding parties could be expected in the western and northern areas: the ground had briefly lost its snow cover so tracking the Native American raiders back to their winter camps was much more difficult for the Colonials.

Wow, I just checked and it's 70 degrees and sunny in the Lake District today and predicted to be the same every day this week. I picked the wrong week for my vacation.

Have a great time at the beach!
