       Le Manche (a.k.a. the English Channel, from the southern border) will, 
I am sure, make an appreciable difference. But the Baltic is a dead end by a 
considerable margin. Appreciable parts of the Baltic ice over in an average 
winter, but even in pretty extreme winters the North Sea doesn't even acquire 
a rim of ice on the beaches.

       Agreed. The climatic differences between the West and East sides of 
Britain are at least as substantial as those between the West side of Europe 
(well, following my travels, the Netherlands) and Central Europe or even the 
Urals/ West Siberia. That's why I don't particularly like the North Sea as a 
parallel to the WIS. But what else is available? The Persian Gulf?

have a large spanner and a computer that should be trembling in it's logic
