Re: Yet another disappointing "summer" in the UK comes to a close...
I'm an Australian who has lived in the UK for nearly 6 years now, and for the life of me I genuinely, honestly cannot understand why people complain about the weather so much over here. 
The British climate is fantastic! Winters are perfectly bearable (only a little worse than the ones I used to get in Tassie) and the summers are gloriously mild. It doesn't rain nearly as much as people claim it does, and the entire country is beautifully green all year round. What's not to like?

By the fag end of Febuary though regardless of place,did begin to crave a bit of warmth. And did love the summers in London and how.

In fact I think the coldest winter I've had was when I lived in Reading - overnight & early mornings anyway.

Not to sure about the claim of there not being much difference, having lived in Manchester for 20 years and in London for 8 years, I can certainly tell the difference between the winters. London with the smog cover, keeps the surrounding areas that little bit warmer. I remember having to defrost the car most days in Manchester...
