This is an interesting little book. I moved around a fair bit as a child so I'm always conscious of the different ways 'locals' refer to different things, but I'd never really considered how weather words (specifically rain) can vary quite so much around the country!
I liked the way the book travels across Britain, going through different local terms and their origins. This is a fascinating book for anyone interested in language, especially local slang and etymology, but also anyone interested in the weather as it was interesting to learn about different weather systems across the country.
