Nothing, apparently, will deter British determination to get out into the garden now that it’s Bank Holiday season

A survey of 2,000 people by cleaning technology specialists Kärcher has found that over 80% will persevere with barbecue plans regardless of bad weather – and that 60% believe that rain during a barbecue just gives you a better story to tell.
