{"product_id":"9781785948541","title":"188 words for rain","description":"\u003cp\u003eWe Brits love talking about the weather. So much so that our islands have hundreds of words and phrases for rain, some self-explanatory and others that really leave us scratching our heads. From a light smirr in Aberdeen to a 'it's raining knives and forks!' in the Brecon Beacons, each type of rain tells a story about the people and places it falls on. In this delightfully damp tour of the British Isles, writer and puddle-splasher Alan Connor digs deep into the meaning and quirky histories of over one hundred words for precipitation. He gets caught in a plash in Northumberland, crashes a fox's wedding in Devon and ponders the phenomenon of Brits-who-picnic-in-the-car, in this charming and witty celebration of our very British obsession.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alan Connor","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55824918741370,"sku":"9781785948541","price":16.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0423\/0240\/6809\/files\/9781785948541.jpg?v=1756474329","url":"https:\/\/winstonebooks.pro\/products\/9781785948541","provider":"Winstone's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
