Squelching through the mud, Martin Rowley at
, blathered on thus, and it became the
following missive...

http://booty.org.uk/booty.weather/me...A_02_small.jpg

... well, I thought you might all like something to take your minds
off the arguments about when the seasons start, who predicted the
blocking high etc., etc!

Just think of a suitable 'burble', or alternatively, a caption.

The picture dates from the 1930s - the instrument, for those that
don't recognize it ...... no, I won't say - wonder how many know ;-)

sweet dreams ... oh yes, no prize I'm afraid - the 'credit crunch' you
know

Martin.

'Are you sure it is measured in dynes'

Is it a Dines? A least the bottom part - if so we have the 'top'

Here's another one, if I may:-

and yet another:-

"Charles was gratified to see that he had lost several pounds in
weight".
