| | | 1. All magazine covers like Heat, OK, Now and Star show photos of the Eastenders cast in their bikinis then magnify their cellulite.
2. We don't tut at convertibles with their tops down.
3. Shops start selling impulse-buy mini fans by the tills.
4. Your garden suddenly becomes a Hawaiian island complete with sun lounger, walkman and cocktails.
5. Any music currently in or around the charts is thrown in the bin to make room for those summer bumper CD packs, which must include The Macarena.
6. Dogs dance in parks.
7. You have to wear sunglasses - to combat the glare of loud shirts and lurid shorts.
8. We run out of water, even though we're an island surrounded by the wet stuff!
9. TV gets so bad that you are forced to go for walks in places like the country and parks - traditionally out of bounds in other seasons.
10. The Costa Del Sol becomes home to whole council estates.
11. You become more conscious of your body and eat nothing but granary biscuits for three months.
12. Shops are stocked with coats and jumpers.
13. You spend five hours searching for your frisbee.
