What is it exactly that stirs such comments from you? I've never seen
derogatory remarks on here about folks living in the North by us
friendly Southerners yet the reverse is all too common.
As a Northerner living in the SE, I can say that this prolonged gale is a bad one - for any part of England, in the summer. I should know, I saw more than my fair share when I lived for 15 years 900' up in the Durham Pennines.

I agree with most of that and while I can't speak for June 1949 it makes
