Amazon are trialing a rain water storage/usage system on one of their buildings to use for their toilets sink taps and other things and the building they chose is the one near Swansea as it’s the one that has the most rain out of everywhere world wide 

 

If any of you know anyone that works there (swansea) they can confirm this to you as they were all told in their quarterly meeting 

 

I have a good few friends and family members who work there and they was all told that this week and was all laughing about it.

 

I’m sure a few growers are in the south west wales area on here who’ll confirm how much it rains they get.

Cornwall is further north than most Canadian cities.......... The main reason we're not as cold as any of those places is the Gulf Stream.

Gets pretty cold on the banks of the Danube too, but more like -20 (Celsius) max.
