A little bit of rain and they think they're hard done by, those BBC

I am only a little surprised to hear that. I know that areas to the
south of London are quite wet compared to surrounding areas,
conversely the Lancashire plain and especially Chesire is not
as wet as one might think.
The big difference I think would be rainfall *duration* rather than
absolute amount and this is what will have more impression
on people as it's either raining, or it's not.
There will be many days up here with hours of relitively light
rainfall, I would imagine you would have generally more intense
rain, but lasting a shorter time.
