. | 1. Hail in Britain, where Jon is from, can occur at any time of the year. | | | | | | | |
. | 3. There's a great vogue in Britain for year-round swimming. It is very popular in the tarns of Exmoor and in parts of Scotland. Many hardy souls brave a dip in the Atlantic all year round. | | | | | | | |
