Yes but that's true for most places

People who live in the NW UK have done so knowing they will have the
nonstop convenyor belt of frontal weather coming from the U.S. east
coast.

Actually, it forms mid atlantic.



In return for that, they have lower property prices, so lower
mortgages, leaving them with much more disposable income to spend on
their "weekend and night activities" and their holidays
