"The Brits said it was sub-tropical 200 years ago"

And the French, and the Prussians...

Not just 200 years ago. It was still considered to be a tropical posting in diplomatic services as late as the 1930s.

I've not invested in a Golden Rod yet, and as long as things continue to be fine as they are I don't think that I will.
