Britain is, again, doing badly at the Winter Olympics. We don't fare much better in the Summer Olympics. I have now realised why this is - we don't have much of a summer in Britain, nor do we get much snow. We could have an Autumn Olympics but our track record against armies of marauding leaves is not very good. I propose we hold the Spring Olympics. Britain would be good at that. Spring, as we all know, has a lot of rain. Here I think British athletes would have a distinct advantage. Any suggestions for events?

I thought of that but it's still a bit cold, and you might snorkel into a toad-sexer.
