As we find Aprils getting cooler (not this year though) and Octobers getting warmer is it possible that the seasons have slipped a month. Could the Earth have moved slightly on its axis in relation to the sun so moving the UK slightly south?

I agree with the one above.
Also, if the earth had changed on its axis, that would only affect days. If it got closer to the sun, it would not get cooler at all.
If the UK moved south, there would just be less change in the hot and cold months, like in tropical areas.

No it isnt working like that.
The global warming is having a huge impact on our temperatures. If you were to watch 'An Inconvient Truth' you would be able to see that. The atmosphere is being thickened by all the fumes and pollution humans give off. This is causes the suns rays to no escape back through it into space. They are trapped in the atmosphere in the form of UV Rays thus heating up earth.
They are mealting huge parts of ice and if thi sis to continue New York will be in an Ice Age whereas Australia will be too hot to live in.

The Earth's precession/rotation is pretty fixed. Seasons will change slightly as the earth wobbles but it takes about 18,000 years for the wobble to fully cycle, so I don't think just a fw years can have enough effect to move seasons a month. Good question though.

It is called the The Chandler wobble.

What is wild is there is a Major Anomaly In Chandler's Wobble that has been found.
This anomaly will be of significant interest to fans of Edgar Cayce, the famed sleeping prophet. He predicted during the mid 1930's that a new cycle of the shifting of the poles would begin in 2000/2001 and thereafter an increase in the "upheavals" in the Earth. Since this anomaly has appeared in a "cycle" of Chandler's Wobble which began in 2000, just after the completion of the MIN PHASE in 1999, we are now seeing Cayce's prediction fulfilled with remarkable fidelity

No. But the seasons are definitely mixed up and the winters are not as cold as they use to be.

No.
If this was the case astronomers would have noticed the tiniest of deviations almost immediately.

Astronomers would surely have noticed that one.
What you're seeing is called global warming.

Is Global Warming happening? - YES
Are we the cause? - NO
Can we stop it? - NO
It is a natural process.

El nino has probably got something to do with that
