We've had naked toddlers on the beach already, and a sunscreen one. But I've not seen a crocs thread yet. And has there been competitive v non-competitive sports day" or "FFS it's only a parents race"

And then there's grade inflation to look forward to at the end of August (though might that look different this year?)

It's too hot, too wet, too cold.
Wimbledon, and people that hate Andy Murray because he once said something which I've clean forgotten.
Last year was fab as we had the Olympics with Mumsnet moaning about it for months before (not me though, I love the Olympics) then everybody coming round and loving them too.

Yes, and this year we will have Wills and Kate's baby - there will be decate on taxpayers money going to pay for the baby's upkeep, and debate on what a brilliant/awful name they have chosen....

The anti dog threads always pop up over summer, people finally venture out to their local park/beach and then start getting all huffy because the local dog walkers who have been there all year round have the audacity to let their dog look in the general direction of their PFB.

And the dog walkers get all huffy that their usually clean parks/beaches are now over run with the left overs of people's picnics.

Or people having a fag in their garden when the Op's children are playing outside Usual, which obviously wafts into the barbecue smoke, but it's still vile.
