Obviously this is not a question for the very hardy (or whatever description
you can think of) like Norman or Philip Eden or several other lurkers on
this group, but when does 'cool' become 'cold ',fresher become bleeding
freezing,and 'changeable' become downright 'orrible ?.
All these terms are freely babbled out by the army of 'forecasters' we are
blessed with on TV and radio presumably at the behest of the Exeter gurus
who decide what is relevant or not depending on the current fashion,like at
the moment letting presenters put their own personal opinions instead of
historical facts
Yes. it probably is me .....

Dunno but it is downright 'orrible 'ere right now.

I have just given in and switched my fan heater on.

Blowing a gale with very heavy rain. Temperature still holding at 6.5C

At least following their move to Salford we actually get some BBC
weather reporting about the situation outside of central London.

Warm is shirtsleeves outside cool is sweater outside and cold is
sweater and coat. Freezing is sweaters and coat and a scarf and gloves
if you are sensible.

Hot is what happens to foreigners.

London is the most populated and most important city in the UK so it should get more coverage. Who cares if three sheep and a hill farmer in Wales gets wet;I don't. That sort of stuff is only for weather records and farmers..

As for Manchester -well we all know the weather up there...wet.

That is most certainly arguably down to personal opinion.

In my opinion it is a **** hole that deserves to disappear under a
mushroom cloud, together with the self-centred, egotistic morons that
populate it.

Local forecaster on TV tonight uttered "unseasonably cold". In truth, he
should have stated "bloody cold"!

*sigh*. I kind of hoped that on a scientific newsgroup people would have
more intelligence than to resort to ridiculous negative sweeping
generalisations such as this, but there you go. Very disappointing.

Blimey, a nuclear warhead for London; so that's the choice, millions of people who keep the economy going killed so sheep shaggers don't feel left out?

Agreed.
I've my arguments on here regarding London centricity, a topic I
studiously avoid these days but that comment was just plain idiotic.
