Less Sunshine

When I wrote of the 'paucity of sunhours' in London, I had tried without success to find some sort of statistic to back up my un-objective hunch about the general lack of sunshine here in the U.K.  As luck would have it, I came across the above today. Not really a statistic as such, this simplified 'Map of Sunshine Duration in Europe' (from Wikipedia) unfortunately confirms my fears of a life spent overcast by British gloom, and in stark graphic form.
