I can't be the only one who has such problems with proportionality. At least while depressed for a longer period.
If you know Scotland you have a very good idea of what short winter days are like. The day length and light levels are a fraction of those of Southern England, and in summer despite it not really getting truly dark at night the level of the sun in the sky is so low in the day it is still pretty dark.

I suppose that is why so many Scots whinge and moan and wander aorund with a great big chip on their shoulder about the English. Let's hope when we quit the EU the Scots will form their own country and rejoin the EU - good luck with that.

Now if you could buy two houses, one in Finland and one in Argentina you need never have a winter at all.
