Hate uk winter

[harrow]

Sod winter, I hate it. Give me sunshine every day.

Winter:

High heating costs, damp towels and clothes, mud, slippery roads/pavements, poor visibility, dark most of the day, condensation, colds & flu, higher blood pressure, wet and muddy dog, Christmas (aarrrggghhh!), SAD, indoors most of the time, grumpy people, plus so many other negatives.

Summer:

Out every day, long dog walks, happy people, light all day long. Warm - mmmmm.

You need to move south, for me there is still no need for heating

Who are you kidding Trev. With two 21 year old blondes you would not see the winter out.

I would risk it
I like winter when it is either snowing or a dry bright day, I don't like rain or wind because of wet dogs and the van rocking for the wrong reasons

Agree with Molly, cold and dry winters were fine but these grey and constantly wet ones of recent times are depressing. I'm west pennines so only got myself to blame

Mind you I would die of boredom in East Anglia so best stop here

I'm as far south as I can get in the UK (Isle of Wight) without moving to Cornwall. I'd love to move to a warmer country, but I've only just got a new flat here.

I know what you mean, at least I am in west East Anglia.

Did you know though, despite East Anglia being as flat as a witches pancake, we do have our own mountain rescue team!

Wind and rain I hate (except it saves me having to water the garden), whichever season it is. I do love summer, but winter is fab too, just wish we could have 2 foot of snow, as we still love sledging down the drive..

North for the winter if staying in the U.K. and go everywhere you like without crowds. South for summer

Urban myth or true; when you had to do a hill start as part of your driving test in East Anglia the instructor would have to take you to a railway crossing?

I would risk it to, but for two reasons I can’t.
First my wife won’t let me, second I don’t know two 21 year old blondes who would be intersted.

My darling wife wants me to make a cold frame for her precious plants, but wet weather stops work as it has to be built outside. With luck she'll get it before June, by which time the plants will be dead. Oh dear, never mind.

Two foot of snow sounds good to me.
Don't really care if its summer or winter, same old nonsense.

Love cold crisp mornings or blizzard conditions. Don’t like damp constant drizzle. Early autumn and late spring are lovely times of the year when the contrast of colours and light are at their most spectacular.

Get a whippet....

You'll never have a muddy dog again
(or a sofa to sit on, a bed of your own, any food left not under lock and key, any space of your own, any 'Me' time....etc etc)

I had one forty years ago - great little dogs. I have a spaniel now though - he loves mud.

We were up to a gang of 5 at one point....
2 big lurcher lads, a affenpincher, whippet and a border collie....

The collie was never out of the water/mud lol....

Whippets are so much more civilised..... Especially mud wise lol
