I admit I’m apparently embarrassingly naïve with regards to your island’s variable weather affecting locations within miles of each other, not to mention it’s sort of creepy to boot. Anyway, to make amends, details on the upcoming Vol. 2 for you UKers and Ireland-ers - https://shop.bfi.org.uk/pre-order-pl...y-box-set.html

It's an oceanic climate. Given we have so little land between an ocean and a sea, often the weather changes. You think that's creepy? I've been in a 3 mile villages with microclimates where it's raining hail then, just a mile outside them. It's a 19 degree celsius day.

Sorry Bob, good try but wrong answer. Upon rethinking your choice in terms of totality, a hint not to marginalize the popularity of my favorite city in all of North America, e.g. from June 2011 –

That’s a red herring Thee outside colors in the photo are not true to life. The typical tail fin insignia looks like that on the aircraft shown here - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VRC-30

That's very bizarre Penton; must have to do with censure (violence).
Ironic too indeed; "American Gods"
