Book Preview: #1 The English have a pathological interest in the weather, which is why they constantly talk about it. English weather-speak is a form of code that helps us overcome our natural reserve and communicate with each other. #2 The English have a distinct tradition of talking about the weather, and it is not always clear when it is meant literally and when it is meant metaphorically. It can be used as a simple greeting, an ice-breaker leading to conversation on other matters, or a default subject when conversation falters. #3 The English have chosen a highly appropriate aspect of their own familiar natural world as a social facilitator: the capricious and erratic nature of their weather ensures that there is always something new to comment on, be surprised by, or speculate about. #4 The rules of English weather-speak are complex, and there are often exceptions and subtle variations. You must always agree with factual statements about the weather, even when they are obviously wrong. However, you may express personal likes and dislikes that differ from those of your companions.
