It never rains but it pours

Rain, rain go away and don't come back for a very long time.

After the wettest June on record, there has been no let-up in the atrocious weather and the forecast offers little prospect of a change. For most Scots it is an unpleasant inconvenience but spare a thought for the country's farming community for whom it could spell disaster on a number of different fronts. A string of agricultural shows, cancelled at the last minute after a year in the planning, is the least of their worries, though it must be heartbreaking for the organisers.
