Yes, and the seasons are reversed as well. Though it was hot as proverbial in the Midwest till last Thursday and when I got back to Godzone they had English weather.
BTW, on Saturday your time France meets the All Blacks and the winner of that match is the Rugby World Champ. Yeah, I know you care heaps ;-) but there's quite a good message about size not being everything.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us."
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
