Most of us have already seen over 100% average rainfall - the worst off over 35% above average. So, if we whine a little about the wetness, please forgive us.

The Great Northwest is having a higher than average rainfall. The mountains here are far above the rate for record snowfall over the record of just a few years ago. Now any body want some feel free to grab some from us here! We average between 35 inches to 135 inches per year. What is the average there? I forget how to convert from metric to inches so please help me with this. Awards

Are you saying you'd rather see a little sunlight? Bit of fun perhaps? There's hope for the English yet. Cold showers, roast beef, real ale and a genetic predisposition for fighting (courtesy of Ancient Britons, Romans, Vikings, Saxons and Normans) made us what we are. However, you have to ask why the British Empire was founded and note which parts of the world were conquered - West Indies, India, Africa and Australia are all hot and sunny places.

Rolf you are so right DEEJAY Cold showers, roast beef, real ale and a genetic predisposition for fighting...........That was a typical night out for me in my younger day's......Although back then it was real men fighting with their bare hands and not like punks today that use knives and broken bottles......But damn do I miss the taste of proper real Ale no such thing in Coventry Awards
