    I lived in Sydney for a while.

    The winter seemed to go on for ever. And it seemed to rain every day.

    I grew up in Sydney and it rained a lot. Sure you had a nice warm summer but it could be pretty wet too. London is actually a lot drier

    In the West of Scotland we have four seasons.

    Morning, afternoon, evening and night time.

    If you don’t like the current weather, just wait twenty minutes.

    Every time I’ve been to BPW I’ve ridden inside a cloudy. It lives up to it’s reputation.

    I’ll attest to that, I’m down in Cornwall on a regular basis, often several times a week, and dull, cloudy, misty, drizzly or sodden is far more common than dry and sunny – on Wednesday driving from Saltash to Exeter was like on-shore power boating on the A30 up to the M5.

    The sun always shines in Eastbourne

    When it’s not blowing a gale with sideways rain.
