That explains a lot.
Like when we went to Bergen, where they have an annual Rain Day celebration, the day we went it didn't rain and all of these kids and parents stood around in their wet weather gear while the local Fire Brigade played fire hoses into the air to simulate rain. We were 100 metres away and the spray soaked us to the skin.
I never let my friends Elsie and Jan Mediaa live it down,... the bastards.
