So it's "patchy rain" and not "showery outbreaks" - well that makes it a

clearer then


To me, 'patchy rain' and 'showery outbreaks' mean entirely different
things. What the hell do they think they're doing?


its alright Alan -- they are only going to mention what is going on in the
major part of the country so we just won't get any mention at all.
As she said this morning -- if its raining in the nw of Scotland but
everywhere else is fine then the report will be mostly fine - with no
mention of the rest of us

It makes dumbing down look intelligent
