Apologies, I meant to type 'like shit off a sweaty shovel'. Another pet hobby of mine is collecting euphemisms for rainy weather. Here are a few of my favourites: it's a sad day in heaven, it's raining cats and dogs, it's persisting it down, like the liquid sunshine, lovely weather for ducks, it's chucking buckets and, of course, it's pissing it down. Can anyone think of some more for my collection?
