I haven't seen any insects outside I can't even remember the last time. I have seen small spiders and insects inside but not outside.

Yes, its annoying waiting. It looks to start about Saturday properly. At least we are out of double figures and into frosty nights by Wednesday.

I wouldn't say he's going over the top at all; I've seen plenty of midges and mosquitos the past month.

England is just a mild land.

I have certainly not seen any mosquitos here because we don't even have them in the summer!!!! As for midges, no, no I have not seen them either.

Mosquitos! Where do you live?! I haven't seen any insects not outside anyway.

Since I got back from Aus I've been staying at my parent's place in Surrey, which is near water hence the mosquitos. Where I used to live near Heathrow also had a lot of them because of the lakes and reservoirs nearby.

unless you have to commute far or live in -30 (or 35+) suck it up. life is too short to worry about the weather!

But um mosquitos are things that you'd find in America and Spain you don't really get them in the British Isles.

Infact, the first place I seen them was Spain.

You certainly do get mosquitos in the British Isles. Before the 1950s there were also Malaria-carrying species, but they were killed off by draining marshes.

Well, I have yet to see them. And I have asked my father of over 50 years of age has he ever seen them locally and the answer was "No, Never".
