'IF global warming does actually occur, England can grow grapes again & start a new wine industry!!'

LOL! I hope you know more about the environment than you do about England!

England has 150 commercial vineyards, some of which have been producing wine continuously since 50AD when they were planted by the Romans!

Some of it is rather good too - a bottle of Knightsbridge 1999 won the silver medal in a French wine contest out of 2028 entries from 31 countries. As a rule though, we prefer beer, wine being ever so slightly gay. ;-)

Kewl!!

I always thought that England was too cold for grapes, that's why the Engliash were beer drinkers - raised hops instead.

I stand corrected.
