Oh no here we go! Somebody will point out that it isn't constantly grey and drizzly in the UK, somebody else (usually from Australia) will then claim it rains 452 days a year in the UK and that the sun hasn't been 'out' since the year 1548, somebody else (actually from the UK) will then point out that the Summers in the UK are actually quite sunny and pleasant (especially in the South East) before the Australians all start claiming that the UK has worse weather than Mars. Then around and around we will go again.

You love coming on here to moan don't you?
Anyway, nowhere in the UK is even remotely sunny, so that stereotype is certainly correct. The sunniest place in the country only gets about 54% sunshine in the sunniest month, and that is only in a very tiny part of the country. Move inland away from that small area, and it quickly drops below 50%.
He's just fed up with the inaccurate stereotypes like everyone else from the UK on here (minus you).
I don't really fret over whether a summer day is sunny or partly cloudy, they are both good and a partly cloudy day isn't going to make someone suicidal. Some people would have you believe that you go days without seeing the sun however, which is only true in the cloudiest spells of winter (around 3-5 days at a time). The winter months average 2-3 hrs a day, and most days see some sunshine. I'd rather have a couple of hours every day, instead of 15 days of overcast and then 15 days of sun.
Didn't the NE US just go 10-11 days without seeing the sun? That's more than we went at any point over the past year, during which Heathrow had its cloudiest November and 2nd cloudiest December.
