Where do you live in Grimsby(or surrounding areas)

Quoted from CairnsMariner

I was only answering the original question.....

Now, if I was to mention that our overnight low last night of 18C (at 4am) was 1C below average and that we are still in Winter - then that might be considered showing off. Oops  

That is my idea of hell, I cannot stand hot weather. May have to move up near Jock!

Lovely for sure, but I just couldn't cope with the spiders they have.
Saw a TV programme where a British couple were house hunting in Oz and they were looking round a pretty nice house when this fooking enormous spider ran out from something across the floor. I just thought Fook. That.   I'm a wuss I know!

It's funny how we (English) imagine Australia as a place full of nasties.

The reality, however, is that you very rarely see anything that is dangerous, especially in urban areas. Most houses have security screens at all windows and doors which mean that, more often than not, there are less insects in your house in Oz than there are in the UK. We do tend to have a few resident geckos, but they don't intefere with anything, apart from leaving little poos, and they feed on the few insects that get in anyway. Up here, tiny ants can be more of an issue than spiders, in that they seem to be ever present - especially in older houses.

Snakes  don't tend to make themselves visible - they are more scared of us than we are them (allegedly) - although I wouldn't fancy keeping birds in a cage, as that seems to attract snakes. We do have crocodiles around these parts - but they only ever seem to attack idiots. Sharks too, but they are predominantly on the outer GBR rather than mainland beaches or the inner bits of the reef. We do have nasty mozzies up here but our university/tropical medicine team are working to eradicate the dengue mozzie (hopefully moving on to maleria (which we don't have) next).

The worst animal pests here are cane toads (because they are ugly and toxic) and jellyfish. Funny that nobody ever says "I couldn't live in Australia, too many jellyfish" yet they are more annoying than any of the other nasties that inhabit the far north. Not an issue anywhere else (not warm enough down south) but stingers seriously impede access to, and enjoyment of, our beautiful tropical beaches.

Fair call, a tropical climate isn't for everyone.

We have friends up in Angus. Seems to me like they just don't get a summer but for the very occasional hot day. 11 1/2 months of cool to cold with lots of drizzle - horrible. Give me hot and sweaty any day

Not far from the Market hotel, I'm also a hater of hot weather, always been a winter person, I love it, dark mornings and nights etc

Rural Oxfordshire.

Talking of weather,

I love the English climate, we do not have more than 2 days the same,

When I was young , I loved the hot weather, now I like it mild but dry, with a spot of rain at night for the garden.
