Never now...Blame this guy:

His name's Greg and he recently bought himself a new Honder...You'll easily recognise him if you see him in the street. He's the one with the smile that stretches from ear to ear!

Every year is a bad year here. This year especially. Poor seeing every night, every clear night during Autumn was ruined by burnoffs and now winter is setting in.

The mere act of announcing new purchases or complaining about the weather undoubtedly exacerbates the problem on a logarithmic scale.

Melbourne has the best climate in Australia, and by extension, the world.

in some instances, reverse psychology does actually work. Don't tell anyone. If the weather gods find out, we're done.
