I actually really missed the weather when I was in Winchester. I took a
polartec 300 fleece with me and was able to use it for about two weeks
[one of those was in Poland].

Ooh, not pleasant! On the few occasions I was actually in the UK, I
spent a lot of time at ICI sites near Liverpool and Newcastle.
Frequently drove from Winchester to Glasgow via one of the sites -
averaged around 2500 miles a week. There's nothing like a 4 hour drive
at 5 am for a 20 minute meeting before driving back again. And yes
driving in Scotland is a lot easier. I'm afraid I picked up a few
aggressive driving skills from the M3 and M25.

Easy, Scotland is obviously a far more appealing place to be - you pay
for quality $-)
