Welcome to ATS
This is quite an old thread so you probably won't get too many answers here, but if you introduce yourself in the Introductions Forum and let us know a little about yourself, why you joined or what you'd like to get out of the site etc, or find a forum on the board you're interested in and contribute to that. You can get 20 posts pretty quickly and then post your own thread on your experience in The Gray Area or somewhere similar to see what the other members make of it.
I hope you have a long and happy stay on ATS, and find what you're looking for. If you need a hand with anything, feel free to ask.
Also in answer to your question, I live in the north of the UK and I haven't seen anything in the past year or so. But I'm a bit further up than Yorkshire, so I'm probably not the best person to answer, really.
Hakuna Matata!
