For all I know “liddle” in Polish might mean “he with a small prick”.
I normally read Liddle on a Sunday but that article was so stupid
(depressions moving westwards into Britain from Ukraine, or something
similar would you believe!) he is now off my list.


Not completely out of the realms of possibility though! Not sure about
as far east as Ukraine, but anyone who attempted to do anything
outdoors on Nov 1st last year will remember only too well what a low
moving in from the east is like :-)

Seriously though, agreed the article has many slip ups. No one ever
said this month had a 65% chance of barbecue conditions or whatever,
it was the whole summer....
