Hi and @Squid lips

I'm a big fan of The Lakes. Very jealous of those who don't have to drive to get there.

Hi and from the Wild West

Our rain is wetter than yours

 

[Squid lips]

Lol pat we don't count it as rain unless it bounces of the floor and then hits you under the chin

Welcome, Since people mentioned rain, don't forget the entire cotton industry was located in south Lancashire because of our impressive precipitation levels.

No rain here again today, I can't believe I have watered the garden so much this year - it's ruining the areas reputation.

Get into them there hills, you'll soon lose the belly.
