Did you bother to read the accompanying text: "Scattered heavy
thunderstorms will bring torrential downpours to some places during this
afternoon and the first part of this evening. 15 to 20mm of rain is
possible, much of which could fall in a short space of time."


Of course I read

"Scattered heavy thunderstorms will bring torrential downpours to some
places during this
afternoon and the first part of this evening. 15 to 20mm of rain is
possible, much of which could fall in a short space of time."

They just love turning the whole country red whether it be rain, fog, heat
or snow. No doubt soon there will be a red warning for boring weather. I can
see it now.

This is a boring weather alert: Many places could see exceedingly boring
weather in the next few hours, please be advised not to operate heavy
machinery,drive long distances without a break and be sure to carry an
anti-tedium pack in the boot of your vehicle.

Why even Patricia Hewwitt could make a come-back.

"The NHS has just come through one of the most boring winters in 240 years
since records began in 1914. When we have severe tedium in the weather
people tend to notice unimportant things like going into to hospital will
more then likely give you MRSA in the bone and blood tissues. Or if you are
elderly with no one to speak on ypur behalf people will notice you've been
left in you urine all day, you food is uneaten and your tablets are lying on
the floor.

Let me at this point stress that the tablets on the floor are not an issue
as they will be there the next day and probably the day after so they will
not be wasted-we want the assure the public that waste will be eliminated in
the NHS"
