LONDONERS are struggling to understand claims that Britain enjoyed a day of wonderful sunshine yesterday when they did not.
Facebook and Instagram posts depicting people in the North and Scotland sunning themselves under blue skies have caused widespread confusion in the capital, which thought it was supposed to get the best weather first.
Hedge fund manager Julian Cook said: “We get the sunny days first, because we’re the wealth creators, and then they trickle down to the rest of the country which is our way of helping them.
“But yesterday when it was raining here, in the centre, people in tier two areas of Britain were somehow receiving weather objectively better than ours.
“Is it a sign? Must we sacrifice another manufacturing region to the gods?”
Blogger Susan Traherne said: “The chilling thing is that it means my experiences of yesterday – London experiences, the proper ones – were not universal.
“If this spreads, then my jokey tweets about the Tube, queuing for Venetian tapas at Polpo and living in a £1.2m one-bedroom flat could seem irritating instead of relatable and cute.”
