Point taken!

I visited Scotland in the spring and there was water trickling everywhere. I should have qualified my statement much better.

The other error I made was extrapolation from Scotland to the whole of the UK. Here in the US it takes a lot of travel to go from one "region" to another, and the conditions change slowly. But I could see that the whole of the UK doesn't necessarily have uniform conditions either.
