12 Tweets That Sum Up How Ungrateful British People Are When Summer Finally Arrives

After a long and gloomy winter, you would’ve thought we’d welcome a heatwave with open arms; finally able to use those pub gardens and that one pair of flip flops you’ve been reserving for a special occasion.

WRONG. In true British fashion we did what we do best - we moaned. A lot.

I mean, we didn’t ask for it to be this hot?! In fact, it is now so hot that Britain can’t sleep - a fact which we gladly shared with the hashtag #toohottosleep.

Here are just a handful of tweets that sum up exactly how Britain copes (or not) with a heatwave...

#Heatwave facts
16% of the heat that causes UK heatwaves is produced via people complaining about how hot it is

How to make the most of tonight's heatwave:
1. Run outside
2. Immediately realise how hot it is
3. Run back inside
4. Wait until October

When we complained about the lack of summer, we didn't mean we wanted it all on one day. #toohottosleep

To summarise:

How to deal with #heatwave:
Unbutton jacket
Look pained
Moan about it
Occasionally look at sky & shake head
Remember it'll rain again soon
