Can we all say where we live?

[HTH AMPS]

Kettering, Northamptonshire.

I'd much rather live ANYWHERE else though.

Corby?

lmao, I've been there - only once.

[nfe]

Nah, let it not lie... :lol:

Anything over 22 degrees is too hot for me!!

That's about when it starts to get uncomfortable for me, too. And I'm hoping to work in Azekah (Israel) for a month next Summer :lol:

Funnily enough, Kettering is the shitehole now and Corby is becoming A LOT nicer due to regeneration.

Sorry to persist with this off-topicness, but it's heartening to see there are other people around who don't like hot weather.

Add me to the list, I'd rather visit Iceland than Alicante.

I think I am the first foreigner posting in this thread...anyway, you may have noticed from my spelling and uncanny sense of the english language that I am not a native. Actually never been to a country where english is the native tounge...

Anyway, I am from northern Germany (north of Hamburg that is).

I am close to the ocean, so weather round here is usually not too extreme, but f*ck me I feel like a viking around here. Nearly every bloody person I know is constantly freezing and wishing for hotter weather, seems they donīt care how hot it gets. Wearing a bloody sweater @ 25 degrees...humid 25 (we are @ the ocean after all). I know some who even wear some sort of lady scarfs then. I am sweating my butt of wearing bright, short clothes and they are cold. F*ck them.

I gotta get a job in Sweden and spent the summer in the forest by a lake, great temperature there. Lots of shade and wood....mmhh

Gimme maybe 22 degrees max and I am good.


Enough rambling for now. Back to topic?^^

You can't polish a turd, but you can roll it in glitter.

I live in a tiny winy village in the arse end of nowhere right next to Bosworth Battlefield (near Market Bosworth in Leicestershire). The village has about 30 houses and 4 idiots, giving us a house/idiot rating of 7.5, which has to be some kind of record.

We also have 15 houses per pub which sounds good on the surface, however with an idiot:pub ratio of 2:1 they can afford to take it in shites to make sure there is always one idiot in each pub.

i don't like it too hot either, but given the option of 30 and sun or our usual 14 degrees with rain and wind...

ideally, though, somewhere around 20 (with low humidity and/or a slight cooling breeze) is about perfect. Even here, though, when it's sunny it often gets too hot. :lol: Like 95% of our weather is terrible, and the other 5% is too hot. Not cool.

I also don't like it too cold, either :lol: Our weather is basically high teens in the summer, high single figures in the winter, so it sorta makes you into a bit of a wuss regarding the weather.

 - As a further thread hi-jack / crossover comment,  add my name to the 'Cooler weather is good' list .

Autumn is the best season, Spring the second - but in the U.K. Summer is somewhat claustrophobic, ill managed and positively Vulgar .  8)

I even ( accidentally ) added a thread hi-jack , Hi-jack - by introducing 'Favourite seasons'.  :mrgreen:

Well, I guess I'm the first North American to post here. Sunny South Florida is where I call home!

I live near Kettering in Northants as well and it is pretty cr@p with only one good pub in kett town! Thing is all my mates live around the same area though so whilst moving somewhere else would be nice i'd probably hate having no one to go out with. Work in Milton Keynes but not sure about moving here as everyone has said not to as its such a dull city.

I lived in Whistler BC, Canada for last summer and it was amazing, i'd love to live there permanently. Really easy to make friends as everyone's really friendly on the mtb chair lifts, and the girls love the British accent :D

I live in Winchmore Hill, part of the borough of Enfield. Which is a north London suburb. It's big & busy as its got two M25 junctions.It's easy to get in to central London though, via public transport. We've got a few guitar shops up here but they're not all that.

I like it around 30c. As long as it isn't humid. It's the humidity that makes the summer uncomftable. The hottest I've been in was 43c in Australia. It's unbearable, but 33 in Darwin with high humidity is worse, it saps all your energy.

[dave_mc]

^ yeah humidity is the killer. the temperature here in NI is probably what you guys in London would love, but 19 degrees and 100% humidity is more unpleasant than 25 degrees with sun and low humidity. Granted it often gets pretty humid in London too, but I think it's even worse here. You get about 2 hours of sun here before it gets unbearably humid. Maybe I've just been lucky when I've been in the south of england but it didn't seem anywhere near as humid as here. And almost every single time I've been in the south of england it's been in the summer during a heatwave, so...

^ think the worst i've ever been in was 35C- the day i arrived in London in the middle of that superheatwave about 5 years ago. :lol:

[Philly Q]

I always think of London as very humid, it certainly is compared to South Wales where I grew up.

I have also lived in Northern Ireland, but it was 1967/68 so I don't remember much about the weather!  :lol:

..... so, I'll take your word for it Dave.
