The ONS says poor weather contributed to the decline in output, with each of the three main divisions of the economy suffering.
Doesn't it rain like 90% of the time in the UK? That doesn't bode well for the economy then
Makes you wonder how we manage to be one of the G7 nations with only 10% of the year without rain according to your analysis. Shocking isn't it?
Now I want to have a comical photo where both the Netherlands and the UK are seen, but the Netherlands is people biking in the sun, picking up fruits from trees that have smiling faces and then England being under a dark roof of clouds and rain, dirty peasants with rags for clothes pull carts through the muddy streets.
Except the Netherlands is a flat country and the UK has a large area of high ground running down the middle of it. There is not a lot of difference when you compare the whole of the UK, but regionally some parts of the UK are very wet. The Netherlands does not get as much rainfall simply because there is not much high ground to force pressure changes with the clouds.
