I bet if you surveyed the British population on how cloudy the UK is, they would be absolutely gobsmacked to learn that most places get less than 1,500 hours - growing up, I was never aware the UK was that cloudy, I never even noticed the cloudiness at all*, until I started getting more interested in the weather and realised that where I live gets less than 1,400 hours and we are definitely one of the cloudiest inhabited places in the word. Believe it or not, people get along with life just fine here, people aren't depressed, they are not slitting their wrists, they are not trying to commit suicide and they certainly don't go on hate-filled rants like certain people on here do.
*To this day, I still don't.
I don't think most people would have any idea whatsoever how many sunshine hours we get - it just isn't ever mentioned much and people likely have no idea what a 'par' score is. Although I was aware of the statistics and knew even places in Scandinavia had warmer summers, I still thought our climate with its chilly, overcast summers was normal until I was about 19 and started travelling elsewhere. I still can't really relate to the experiences of people living in extreme climates.

No, I think they'd be gobsmacked to learn that we actually got those figures to be honest.
Lies about the Depression, you don't live in Scotland or Northern Ireland, we do get affected by the cloud trust me. It is very depressing, it definitely affects my mood.
Maybe people there are depressed for different reasons.. sunshine hours are generally the same here in inland northern England as they are up there, and nobody I know is depressed.
In other words, you have nothing more constructive to say because you are not making sense, and you don't really know what point you're trying to make.
Just been outside absolutely baltic cold. The trees add to the feeling.
