Lol, Eric - it has been known ...
I use (as does JK , I think) -0.7 comp when shooting in Italy / Spain but certainly not in even sunny UK!
Another point that occurs to me is the DOF - it may be worth taking some shots of say grass or something that shows clearly the in focus range of your settings. It is possible that the camera focus is actually in front of or behind the focus point set on the lens.
In the image below you can see the dof clearly on the sand in front of and behind the horse's hooves. - right click on the image to open in a new tab and then left click on the image to zoom in. The white specks are flying sand particles!
This was taken with my D90 with single point focussing on the horse's chest - see how the dof is actually mostly behind the focus chosen by the camera.

Agreed when you are photographing in the intense light of mainland Europe compared to the high humidity of the British ISLES. Also when photographing light subjects it’s best to drop exp comp into the minus region to guarantee holding onto highlight detail. But as a general rule Nikons don’t need anything more than +/- 0.3 to protect detail.
The Fuji gives me a warning not to mess with IT’S choice.
