  • Surprisingly few people judging by how many are surprised by the rain in the north west (and the number that think it rains a lot in London).

    Tell me about it. I've had the 'London rain' conversation with thousands of people, mostly when doing LCC stalls at festivals and other events. It's one of the main excuses people have for not cycling and so many try to pretend that London is extremely rainy. It's also a prejudice that people on the Continent have. They all imagine London as extremely foggy and rainy, and it usually takes a while to get them to accept that it's all changed.

    The year I lived in NW France it constantly pissed it down and people were always joking to me that "ahaha you must feel right at home in this english weather."

    i couldn't work out the joke
