If there's one thing that unites the Great Britain, it's the weather.
And with the recent floods, it's not been out of the news for weeks. But now, thanks to the internet, weathertalk has been taken to a whole new level.
Some unknown hero has set up a live stream on Periscope of a large puddle in the Drummond Central area of Newcastle. Sounds boring right? Well, you'd be bang wrong. As it turns out that it's weirdly addictive to watch how people deal with navigating the watery obstacle.
Will they be a #wallwanker? Will they confidently march through? Will they tiptoe through it with huge amounts of trepidation?
Who knows, but as we type there are over 3,500 people all eagerly watching #drummondpuddlewatch.
Sod the Labour reshuffle and the North Korean hydrogen bomb: this is what the British public want to watch.

EDIT: the livestream ended at around 5pm - the puddle was a victim of its own success, with visitors bringing lilos, diving into it, and selling bottles of its water on ebay. It shone brightly, but briefly. Remember her below.

As Content Director of Shortlist, Marc likes nothing more than to compile endless lists of an evening by candlelight. He started out life as a movie writer for numerous (now defunct) magazines and soon found himself online - editing a gaggle of gadget sites, including TechRadar, Digital Camera World and Tom's Guide UK. At Shortlist you'll find him mostly writing about movies and tech, so no change there then.
