Nobody asks '¿Por que llegas tarde?' (Why are you late?), because they already know the answer '¡Porqué esta lloviendo, claro!' (Because it's raining, of course!). Ah, if only we had this attitude in England.

When it rains, everything stops
April showers are dealt with a little differently here. It seems that everyone is allowed to be late on rainy days in Madrid. Traffic grinds to a halt as motorists struggle desperately to cope with this strange phenomenon- each and every one of them driving slower and more cautiously than the last. And pedestrians everywhere run for cover (thats if they ever braved leaving the house in the first place); heaven forbid they could actually get wet.
