If I moved south I would have to live in a small cardboard box. The air would be more or less smog. It would rain four times as much. Everything would cost about 50% more.

Just a few weeks ago, when the weather was crap in the south and west we were sitting in the garden having a salad lunch.

Just the luck of the winds. It's not the north, actually. It tends to be cloudy down the whole east coast when the winds are easterly.

It rains a lot more in the west. And Wakefield. Here in the Humber region most rain comes from the western Atlantic and falls on Manchester or the Pennines. This is a rain-shadow area.

The weather around outer west London is usually the warmest in the UK, with lower rainfall and snow overall throughout.

There is no smog Jim and we have Air quality testing stations all over which show that it's not too bad at all, compared to some of the more industrial towns.

People love whatever they grow up with and are used to. Work is plentiful.....

And yes  - if I sold my 3 bedroom house and moved north, I could have a 5 bed detached for the same money, but that's not everything in life....

The downside to living near London is that a lot of the residents are the crap of Europe and many other places whose only desire is to re-create the crap they were used to.

That's why such a huge surge of people have moved away to other towns and cities where England still exists in a more recogognisable form, rather than a bland form of "Cosmopolita".
I intend to follow this trend before too long as well.....

Decent weekend up in Northumberland folks, bit cooler at times next to the coast, but , all in all , we seem to be heading in the right direction, gladdens the heart.

It was beautiful for the last two years - but there are no guarantees!

We were on the beach the day we left last year on Oct 19th.

What's the local Stan Stefanos forecast for the next few weeks?  The hotter the better as far as I'm concerned but that doesn't suit everyone.
