What a pity that newspapers seem to employ people with IQ's that would shame
a mentally-challenged amoeba

Unfortunately, this embarassing story also featured on radio 5 on
Saturday night at about 9-30pm, with an interview with an observer
from an obscure village somewhere claiming to make accurate wind
observations from home, and issuing forecasts as good as the Met
Office!

To be fair however, I think it is the media putting the spin on the
story as usual.
