    This
    winter, he is right, it is very soggy.

    Umm, not according to the Met Office. Their once-a-week deep dive
    YouTube videos seem to indicate that the Western Isles of Scotland
    (who normally get the brunt of the winter storms) have received a
    lot less rain than usual.
    I heard on the radio it's rained every day so far this year.


    Who listens to the radio any more?


    Watching TV in the car is frowned upon.

    <Nods> YouTube instead.
