I didn't say that there is no difference, but that it is a myth that
there is quite a wide one. It is typically LESS than the variation
between years. Mine haven't really started, either, though ones in
less cold gardens have.

And remember that you are comparing close to the extremes of the UK
with Cornwall and Clackmannanshire. To be fair, you need to compare
close to extreme years.
