soon dont we?

I've just listened to Rob McElwee's R4 0030 forecast wanting to know
roughly how wet it will be on Tuesday, and when it'll arrive, and I'm none
the
wiser.
McElwee's style and delivery must be one of the most irritating
features
on radio, all jokey little asides, clever-clever little remarks all
delivered
in that nasal mincing cod-intimate way he has. He seems to think he's
doing a
late-nite cabaret spot for an invited audience of weathermen. Someone
ought to
tell him that the purpose of a weather forecast is to disseminate
easily-assimilated information about the weather. The great Fish was good
at
it, delivering it straight and suppressing his considerable ego in a
totally
professional manner.
I've now (an hour later) seen a few charts and can now say about
McElwee's broadcast "oh, that's what he meant". Few others will have
bothered,
though.
