I am praying this will be a hard winter, not for my usual selfish
reasons,
but to spare Metcheque the most massive egg on face since MF "no
hurricane, madam". !

Although he was of course correct, both for the UK and for the part of
the
world to which he (and the lady) were referring.

'urban myths' ... why do I have to keep reading the MF myth even though
I
live 'in the country' ... sigh.

Have your ever thought, Gianna, that Mike Fish's own
version might be the mythical one?

Here is the full transcript of the first part of his 1325z broadcast,
published in the Meteorological Office Report: The Storm of
15-16 October 1987, Met.O., December 1987, p 4.19:

I confess that I had not thought that Philip, perhaps because of my own
memory (I was watching that report) which may or may not be generally
accurate.
In either case, my point is that IMVHO he remains correct and with no 'egg
on face' ... regardless of where the alleged lady may have been ... he
definitely said there was no hurricane on the way, and there was no
hurricane. I would be interested to know if there has *ever* been a
hurricane, in the UK, inland, and I suspect you are the man to tell me (:
