And whether the blood be highland, lowland or no.
And whether the skin be black or white as the snow.
Of kith and of kin we are one, be it right, be it wrong.
As long as our hearts beat true to the lilt of a song.

Well up here around beautiful downtown Scunthorpe - ye want to see what spellchecker just suggested there - it has been very windy now for quite a while, far more breeze than usual for a winter.Innocent Bystander wrote:Based on the very limited experience of going out practically every lunchtime and weathervaning around in the park so as to play my whistle, No, I can't say I've noticed it being more windy than usual for a winter in the UK.
Every time I look out the window it's blowing a gale, has been for ages now.
Somethings happening...

Not British, but I will say that the wind HERE has been way more than usual. This past winter was the windiest I remember in this area...trees toppling left and right because of the high winds that blew on a constant basis. My mother in law said that she doesn't ever remember it like this here, and she's lived here since she was a little girl. It does seem like things are changing, climatically anyway.

You lot don't know you're bloody born. Try living on the north Cornwall coast facing west in a typical English winter. I'm still searching five miles inland for some of my washing and a dozen roof tiles after a good blow we had in January.
"Last night, among his fellow roughs,
He jested, quaff'd and swore."
They cut me down and I leapt up high
I am the life that'll never, never die.

Americans complain about tax and gas prices and the British complain about the weather - neither know how good they've got it.
