listen to the floodlines,and don't forget my shovel and tow rope whilst

I never rated John Kettley as a particularly good presenter/forecaster
as he often had the habit of starting his forecast on Radio 5-live at
some sporting event, eg Burnley FC of Doncaster races, and than darted
out from whereever to other parts of the country so that you didn't
get a logical picture of what the weather was doing. Sometimes your
area was missed out completely.
His meteorological knowledge also seemed to be lacking when in reply
to someone who had phoned in with a question about what determined the
way that hurricanes move replied that they were 'steered westwards by
the sub-tropical jet stream.'
