You seem to be very like wavehunter, always looking to criticise the UK climate
The site that records 1400 hours of sunshine - Greenwich - is obscured - when all other stations in London record 1550-1650 hours of sunshine, it doesn't take a genius to realise that Greenwich is an anomaly.
Yep, as I evidenced with data from several stations - Greenwhich has an improperly sited sensor, hence not reading the same as every other single station. Not one of these troll cretins has probably bothered to even look. Look, we all know the UK has a cloudier cooler summer climate than the USA. Nobody is debating that, but what you are doing is distorting downright measured facts (at least in the sunshine example) and ignoring all sources of data bar one inaccurate one which you take as the only correct example just to promote your prejudices.
Because this particular user brings out his hate for the UK in dozens & dozens & dozens of threads & even when it has nothing to do with the discussion. He is beyond obsessed, that is why it is trolling & not just having an opinion...
His beloved Seattle is cooler in all months using average temperature if you compare it to the data from London Weather Centre

Tis strange that the poster seems to have issues with the London climate, when to most Americans it seems Seattle has an almost identical climate to London lol.
For comparison, I will post the date when 80F has been reached for the first time in Finland the recent years,
2014: 19 May 30.8C/88F
2013: 17 May 27.3C/81F
2012: 17 May 27.8C/82F
2011: 1 June 29.5C/85F
2010: 14 May 29.6C/85F
2009: 31 May 28.9C/84F
2008: 1 June 26.8C/80F
2007: 28 May 26.8C/80F
2006: 12 June 27.9C/82F
2005: 24 May 27.0C/81F
2004: 6 May 27.4C/81F
2003: 26 May 27.3C/81F
Obviously these are nationwide stats, but most of these are from S Finland, and London being more south, more prone to maybe not prolonged heat, but at least short heat bursts, going halfway into June without 80F could definitely be considered rare.

Yeah, it is very obvious. I just don't know why he has a problem with it all. If a poster from NYC said that LGA or JKF recorded 90F, I wouldn't turn around and say 'NYC has not seen 90F because central park hasn't recorded it yet!'

Exactly, the only difference you'd notice in Seattle is most likely it being a bit sunnier in summer, but then you would also notice that it is much wetter in winter, so I don't know why he has a problem. Both climates are pretty much identical temperature wise to the effect that you wouldn't notice the difference.
Why do you think that he used the incorrect Greenwich sunshine hours to claim that London gets 1400 hours, yet he earlier said that we should stick to one station - Heathrow, that records 1630?
Looking at the last 10 years, it's interesting how London's summers have played out. You've talked about how poor some months have been, especially in August, but June and July have more than made up for the negative anomalies.
Look at the temperatures, plus the amount of cloud and rainfall of pretty much every summer between 2007-2012. They are all worse than average.
Why wouldn't the Met Office relocate the sunshine recorder if there are trees in the way which would contaminate the data?
Good question. Probably easier to not bother with sunshine, as there are other recorders in London.. By posting the Greenwich figures, they help to make the climate of London a little more difficult to understand -not exactly the definition of good science.
