Do not, BTW, my fellow-countrymen, get taken in by all these myths about the Californian climate. I have been twice to LA, 6 months apart, October 2003 and April 2004.

IT PISSED WITH RAIN BOTH TIMES ~~ a miserable time was had by all. You try looking at all those bollocky paving stones along Hollywood Blvd with the water pouring in a stream down your collar!.

What would the Mexicans want with the horrible place anyhow?
