Some knowledge on display in this thread lads.

There is however something that has been playing on my mind for some time now. I wonder if any of you good gentlemen could tell me which of these would have more effect on European weather patterns? Would it be -

A. The North Atlantic drift
or
B. The jet stream
Thank you in advance for your help and I look forward to reasoned and civil debate.

North Atlantic Drift.
The jet stream moves about, here there, doing its stuff to various locations.
