Hmm, North West England - the Sun slurps up water from the Atlantic and the prevailing wind dumps it all as rain on that part of the country!

We were told at school that the reason that cotton mills were built in the region, was that the high humidity reduced breakage of the fibres.

Basically you take your chances with the British weather, like all us natives have had to do for thousands of years - that's why it's a favourite topic of discussion!
