Looking forward to presenting a cup at The Derby this Saturday. Better find a hat. And dress. And shoes. And bag #unorganised

4. A frank message to the Great British nation, but we’re still keen to make the most of 20 degrees while it lasts!
Let's get a grip people, 20 degrees is not some Saharan heatwave, it's what we call summer. And quite frankly not a very good one.
