Summer Affective Disorder

Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) is usually thought of in terms of the dreadful, dark days of winter.

It now seems just as applicable to the dreadful, dark and rain-sodden days of the British summer. In short, just about everyone who is stuck here is miserable.

SAD mainly brings people down because they don't get any sunlight. It was bad enough when Britain was sunless for four or five months between October and March. Now Britain seems to be becoming a permanently sun-free zone.

Festivals are cancelled, roads are closed, people aren't going out... And as a result, the economic gloom just gets gloomier...

Time for a sun dance?
