Based on a very brief look. Would it be fair to say that our subjective
experience with higher temperatures all round in the UK, are more to do
with increased Southerlies rather than purely the Climate warming.
Surely that coupled with falling Anticylonicity during the winter months
is the main culprit for any lack of real cold spells and not purely down
to GW.

That's correct. But no serious climatologist ever said that Britain's
recent winter warmth was "purely" down to GW. The next step
would be to correlate these indices with mean monthly temperature and
see if you're left with a background warming or not. And you are.

It also leaves unanswered the question whether recent changes
in circulation may be a response to global anthropogenic climate
change. In fact I don't believe it is possible - yet - to answer that
question although some have tried.
