GS you are correct. It fucking grinds my gears no end hearing locals constantly whinge about the fucking weather. The north-east has the best weather in Britain and is by no means the coldest place.
Every time there's a spot of rain a'body on Facebook gives it "FFS sake Aberdeen and it's shite weather! *angerz*" but nobody commended Aberdeen for it's fine weather on bon fire night when thousands of potential whingers headed for the beach. The weather was lovely that night.
Perhaps it's nae on a par with Spain but it's the closest you'll get in the UK.
However the survey lost all credibility when Brum was placed above Aberdeen. That's nae a nice place like. Was pishing of rain too. As it was also when I was in London a couple of months ago. It came as quite a shock because the moaning I constantly hear convinced me that Aberdeen was the only place it ever rains on earth.
