Weather isn't everything...

It can be, if like me and millions of others, you suffer from S.A.D, I come from Bolton, a medium sized satellite town of Greater Manchester, winters are bleak and even summer is not guaranteed sunshine, the northwest of england has the highest rainfall in England I think, now somewhere like Devon or East anglia which is the driest part might be nicer. Certainly winters in the gulf states are far nicer than winters in ye olde england. Where do you hail from good sir?
