I just love the comment from Nasser Hussain at the One Day International
from The Oval, when someone commented on the lovely evening Sky over London.
"You can get a full days cricket in down here, travel north, you watch
the rain, then travel back again" LOL

Steady on Keith!!

With a post like that, you'll have the Thought Police hovering over you
in their black helicopters, claiming your Anti Northerner!!!

Good quote though ;-)

At least England don't lose up North.

Some southerners do seem to have that perception of weather "up north". It's
exactly the same down here in the SW, people down here think that the SW is
the warmest part of the country, er no - that's the SE, especially London.

I thought SW England *was* the warmest part of the country, if you look
at the yearly mean at least.
Obviously I'm talking about lowland/coastal areas, not where you live :)

Yearly means are mis-leading. Lowland SW certainly has the mildest winters
but summer maxima (which is what most tourists experience) are lower than
the SE, but the peception seems to be that people come here in summer for
the warmth - admittedly sea temperatures are relatively high and it can be
very sunny right on the coast possibly enhancing the mis-perception. And
yes, folk usually get a shock when they come up onto Dartmoor, especially in
winter. I remember a couple of years ago we had a consultant come up to talk
about making a Will and it started to snow, she was very distracted by it
and keen to get back down, despite my saying that it would not amount to
much - it didn't, just over a cm.
