This is all very true. However it's good clean fresh air and the risk of flooding is very low.
FiF - you probably went to Grimston Garages who used to be made in Queensbury.

I don't mind the endless rain, so long as the temps stay close to double figures or more so that the roads stay clean and not get covered in grit and brine.
On a related note, a question to our Canadian and American friends : do they spray all the roads with salt/grit and brine over there as well? I know in the Far East they don't use them, although no idea how they manage to stop their roads getting covered in ice
.
In the frozen North we spray with salt/grit , but that only works down to minus 10/12C , then if the wind gets up it acts as a magnet and before you know it the highway turns into a skating rink . Worst times are when temps are 0 to minus 5 ish and fluctuating , when it stays really cold the snow tends to blow straight over . Doesn't always go to plan though On a related note, a question to our Canadian and American friends : do they spray all the roads with salt/grit and brine over there as well?

Looks like high pressure will almost definitely sit on top of UK for Christmas. Where it then move to is key, it could open the door to winter if it moves to Greenland or Scandi.
Apologies if I've written drivel. Had some fairly major surgery this afternoon (I'm all good, fit and healthy!).
