The UK climate, and growing season are not right for growing rice.

Probably not. Here are the rice production statistics from 1961-2005 by Continent, then country, published by the International Rice Research Institute:
http://www.irri.org/science/ricestat/pdfs/Table%2001%20Rice%20Production,%20Area%20and%20Yield.pdf
Page 6 lists European production and does not mention the UK explicitly, although it is possible they are included in "other."

I've never seen a paddy field here, and I've never heard of British grown rice...so I'd say no.

No the climate isn't right. You need like warm bogs or something like that.
