Hi everyone - American here, crashing the thread, but I am a UK resident. I live near Leeds and it was the same temperature (23), all day long, two days in a row. And it wasn't windy. Almost makes me forget last winter.
I thought North Yorkshire accent took getting used to, then I worked with a Geordie, and I didn't understand a word. Thought it was my American ears, but none of my English co-workers could understand him, either. So bizarre to know you're hearing your mother tongue, but still find it incomprehensible. That was rough. Nice kid, though. I think.
