Dave, why don't you move to the Med, or California, or somewhere that
doesn't have our climate? I'm sure you'd be a lot happier. The UK
simply does not provide the weather you seem to permanently need -
which means that you are unhappy with what you get most of the time.

I didn't mind the rant and I know what Dave means. North-easters at
most times of the year, other than sometimes in the depths of winter,
used to brass me off when I lived in NE England, although they're not
too bad now I'm in Essex.

But I still loathe that NW airstream you get in summer when, after a
lovely sunrise, the cloud quickly builds-up inland and spreads-out,
with nothing further happening until dusk, when convection ceases, it
all dissipates and you get a clear, starry night. A total waste of a
good summer's day, IMHO, there's nothing good about it and I can't
wait for the airstream to change.

That doesn't mean I don't like the UK climate or I want to up sticks
and go somewhere else. It just means I don't look forward to a
forecast (or perhaps even a hint) of that type of weather.

Nothing wrong with the weather here today, though - glorious in
everyones' book, I would hope.

Balckmore, SW Essex.

Maybe Tom thinks like me. Thanks for standing up for me Tom. I wonder if
he's sick of hearing about the South West this and the South West that. I
wouldn't want to live anywere else in the UK other than the South East and
yes it dont mean I need to move to these far flung so called paradises.
France is definitely - out they speak damn French! and they really dont like
us. Even Spain is full of wretched Brits, well one side of it is at any
rate. As for California I cant stand them darn Americans, they are too
shallow by half, full of stupid fast food bellies and film star hero
worship - pathetic. But we been getting a rough time of it in the SE
lately and we dont like it. Especially when the rest take the opportunity of
gloating which we never do, do we? in normal years. But this year aint
normal We are the other side of the Jet - its just terrible another
generally unsettled year like last drives me up the wall and I'm gonna drive
you lot up there with me if I half a chance.
Dave lol
