unless you have to commute far or live in -30 (or 35+) suck it up. life is too short to worry about the weather!
Living is literally the longest thing anyone ever does. I don't understand what kind of response you're expecting by basically posting "weather doesn't matter" on a weather forum.
You certainly do get mosquitos in the British Isles. Before the 1950s there were also Malaria-carrying species, but they were killed off by draining marshes.
Isn't the mosquitos here different from the tropics because in the summer we don't use mosquito nets, and sprays. I thought midges were our mosquitos if that makes.
I cant remember the last time i saw a fly or a bee. I think hes going over the top, ok its 11c and mild but it aint 22c or anything.
How can I be going over the top when I saw something with my own eyes? Unless it was a bird the size of a peanut, I'm pretty sure it was a fly. There have even been reports of bats flying around, and they usually come out if there are insects available.
For goodness sake, stop peddling the myth that England is milder than NI (in the winter) and that NI is the new bloody Arctic - England is more prone to cold and snow, Met Office averages back this up, get over it.

I haven't notice mosquitoes any of the time I spent in England over the summer, though it was mostly Outer London, but near a park and the greenbelt so it wasn't too built up. They didn't have screens on the windows which is a bit unheard of here (kinda asking for mosquitoes) and they didn't seem to get much in the way of bugs. In fact, the locals seemed rather unused to insects and a few rather terrified.
Though, I did live in a place without screens and didn't get too much in the way of mosquitoes. I left the windows open all day long during the summer there. Came back home and found a squirrel had eaten some food I left out in my room and pooped on the windowsill.
