Lots of business is done in places where weather not up to Bay Area standards, such as New York, London, Tokyo, Beijing, etc.

You guys realize that our weather sucks right? A handful of days over 75F per year, near-freezing cold and fog in _July_ in some parts of the city, needing to carry at least a light jacket/hoodie every single day of the year?
Did you try Palo Alto? Bay Area is not the same as San Francisco.
Not everyone thinks >75F is comfortable...imho, if you're sitting in the noon sun having a picnic, 65-70F is ideal.

Also, not everyone hates wearing a jacket everyday...

I assumed they were referring to the part of the state with decent weather, not the bay area.
All of these have more sunny days than Vancouver. :)
Vancouver has a lot more sunshine per year than London.
I've met a Londoner in Seattle (which is about 2 hrs from Vancouver), said he felt "at home" with the weather in Seattle... I'm guessing they're about the same, though I suspect you're right, given the UK's one big island ...
