The UKs climate tells you it is in northern Europe. The origins of the people are mainly Scandinavian and northern German, but clearly a race called British.

The UK is cold. In the highlands of Scotland it can snow from September to June, stop talking rubbish.

You do not live in Southern Europe, as much as you would like to think you do.

You do not live here. I do. The snow never melts on the north face of Ben Nevis in Scotland. I know a man who got frost bite and had parts of his feet amputated from being on the top of Shap Fell in England.

In the past few weeks we were not able to walk around in T shirts at all. Sweater and jackets.
