Gregory's Server@HighlandLawyer @stuartb @simon_brooke @schratze Yip, classic UK weather forecast will say "Rain in Scotland and the North". They don't need to specify where the North is, because of course England is the default. π

 @z3z @HighlandLawyer @stuartb @simon_brooke @schratze  @punishmenthurts @z3z @HighlandLawyer hey, in Britain we famously think that a week is a long time... in politics. @punishmenthurts @z3z @HighlandLawyer @simon_brooke Having driven in both places yes, driving a hundred miles each way in a day is something I do fairly often in the US. I've done 700+ miles in a day before now. Driving Bristol to London or Birmingham seemed a lot harder. I've lived in places in the UK where some of the buildings have existed longer than the US - I do still make jokes about a short course on US history being all that's needed. @llondel @punishmenthurts @z3z @HighlandLawyer I've owned and lived in -- and indeed you've visited me in, Dave -- a house older than the United States! @simon_brooke @llondel @z3z @HighlandLawyer @simon_brooke @punishmenthurts @z3z @HighlandLawyer This is true, fun times, those visits. Cambridge has been there over 800 years, and parts of the church in my village near there date back to the 1200s. @punishmenthurts |

itβs fun to hear in Canada where our provinces are a thousand kilometres north to south - although, the so far inland ones are all pretty much βnorth,β for weather too, top to bottom π
