It’s such a weird stereotype, although not as weird as the Russian stereotype that London is always foggy.
London is disproportionately cloudy and grey, not rainy.
Also, Microsoft is based in **fucking Seattle** of all places…
Seattle has 0.999m of rain per annum v London’s 0.623m.
I live in Manchester and feel aggrieved about this
Clearly the graphic designers at Microsoft have never been to Swansea
Rude
I don’t know why people make the “London is cloudy and grey” joke anymore, this summer so far and the previous summers has clearly proven this isn’t true lmao
“You must be somewhere in London,
You must be loving your life in the rain.”
Bizarre since it’s in the part of the country that enjoys the best weather.
Should be Sydney. Twice the annual rainfall of London.
Looking at it another way, London seems to be the only city with its own emoji, if you don’t count (tokyotower). I wonder if some of the devs are London based
Now that’s unexpected
Microsoft also translated ‘zip’ in US ‘English’ to ‘postcode’ in full-strength English, as in, ‘create postcode file’.
Their cultural solipsism only intensifies.
Isn’t that chimney stacks and smoke (London “The big smoke)
