Wasn't January colder than average for much of England? I know not dramatically so, but still.
Yes it has perhaps been a slightly colder than average, it has certainly been a colder winter than last year but nothing outside the realms of normality, there have been some pretty apocalyptic forecasts over the last six months or so that have simply not occurred.

We've had a near record shattering February here. For the city of Chicago it looks officially to be 3rd warmest on record using ORD, but based on MDW data this month would rank 1st ahead of 1882 (1882 is skewed anyways as back then temps were taken right on the lakeshore and thus warmer during the winter than inland). The average high so far at MDW and IKK stations this month is 9.2C which is almost 1C higher than an average Feb in London.
And tomorrow, last day of the month, we are expected to reach about 17C
I've noticed an anti-UK sentiment on the world forums before.
I think Europe's long had that attitude towards the UK. It seems to be a love/hate relationship. Generally Europeans seem to stereotype us as arrogant, Americanised, conservative, alcoholics. Whereas on the other hand I often see admiration towards many elements of our culture and history.
I see a lot of anti-British sentiment on the Internet and in the media, but from personal experience my encounters with Europeans have been positive, they never react negatively to my nationality.
I think the irritating thing for me is when foreigners say 'Brits' or 'British'. Are they then referring to 'the English/English' people or are they referring to people from the United kingdom?
Certain nationalities (Americans in particular) do seem to infer England/English when saying 'British', I can understand that as England is the 'head honcho' of the UK, it's just that there are other countries constituting the United kingdom aswell..

Yeah, the UK is made up of four separate countries, each with their own seperate identities. Although I guess it's not dissimilar to when people just use the term "Europe" as if they're talking about a single country. Rather than a continent with dozens of distinct nation states.
