More importantly, the UK is far simpler than all the others.

The answer to "is it going to rain?" here is always "Who knows? Probably... can't really say. It looks sunny outside, but it was raining this morning so it might rain again later today."

Living in the UK, can't say I've ever seen that. Celsius all the way!
