Default Somewhat startling Met Office quote... it is via the Express, though!

How can anyone believe that article without verification from Piers Corbyn !
They'll be saying next that it's gonna the warmest year on record....

. It is, however, from an article in
today's Daily Express, and as such I have absolutely no confidence that
it has been reported properly.

Correct. I have it on good authority that Stephen did not make the
quotes attributed to him - although you don't have to look far in the
article to work out who probably did, allegedly etc..

Thanks; I'll certainly take your word over the Express's! In which case,
of course, the question to be asked is: what is his name doing in the
article? I suppose the most innocent explanation from the Express's point
of view is one of a simple but bad cock-up in compiling the article.
There are other, less charitable, explanations but I'd rather avoid the
kind attentions of m'learned friends!
