Where's Orkney?

Is that the far north :-)

You'll probably miss it actually. But I know that what folk call a gale in the
SE is really only a strong breeze up there. A real island gale blows cement
mixers around and blows over stone walls. At least that what a lighthouse man
from Muckle Flugga once told me!

I notice on http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/..._warnings.html
tha the UKMO has weqather warnings "severe gales" for every region (??) for
Saturday Sunday AND Monday.

For every region except Orkney & Shetland, it seems. Is this because:

(a) Someone forgot to paint us red
(b) We really aren't affected
(c) We won't notice the difference?
