Here comes the sun

Yesterday it was 31c but I was too knackered to go and sit in the sun watching the world go by with a glass of wine. Today it hasn't stopped raining and I really fancied doing that this evening, life just ain't fair

Forecast for the coming weekend is 25C

That will be in the SE or London. North of Birmingham can expect the usual 15C "heatwave".

A bit off topic, but how easy is it to sell stuff? You just rent a 'concession stand' and you're good to go?

As I was wandering about Ibiza last week, feeling peckish and unwilling to pay tourist prices for 'food' (£4 for a tiny tub of ice cream ffs), I saw someone carrying a tiny polystyrene plate of chips. I hunted for its source, but eventually concluded that they had been obtained from one of the many rip-off places that also do chips at great cost, as there was not a proper chippy in sight or smell. It got me wondering how well a chip shop van might fare there (a place teaming with chip-eating Brits) and how one might go about starting such a venture. No doubt it's been thought of before, not least by experts in the potato frying business, so something must be holding them back.

Probably the outlets selling food are strictly controlled. Believe it or not, if you even have an open-air terrace with a bar in Spain, it's heavily taxed by the local authority.
Of course you could go for an already established chippie, but prices look high to me for a business that may only make money 5 or 6 months a year.
