St Swithin's day today, if it rains it will rain for 40 days. Similar if it is dry it will be dry for 40 days. (I wish)

Does anyone know how the myth came about. Mig0

I do know but not at this precise moment; the curséd brain fog (see applerose's post on LWA) is winning. DDHave you got the despatches? No, I always walk like this. Eddie Braben0

Must have had a touch of brain fog myself.St.Swithens very ornate but empty tomb is in Winchester cathedral,he apparently said he wanted to be buried outside,this was ignored when he passed and it started raining ,after it rained non stopped for the forty days and nights they took him out of the tomb and buried him outside and lo and behold it stopped raining.Mig0
