Default Poor old Thomas Schaffernacker

Thomas Schaffernacker had something of a Brian Johnston/Jonathan Agnew
moment
when delivering the weather forecast just before today's 1 p.m. News on
Radio
4. He meant to say something along the lines of "overnight showers at
Glastonbury will lead to a muddy site". For the last 2 words he actually
said
"muddy ****e". He then started laughing and couldn't stop and the rest of
the
forecast was just lost. Much more entertaining than the usual presentation
:-)
I don't know if the forecast is available on iPlayer but, if it is, it's
worth
a listen. I felt for the fellow. It must have been very embarrassing.

How timely just when the BBC due to public pressure plan to stop unnecessary
language after the watershed. of 9 pm.
