A little bit of rain and they think they're hard done by, those BBC

a nasty weather surprise I can tell you

Got to agree with you on that one Col.
If it doesn't happen in London/SE Engalnd it doesn't happen.
The presenters of the News must have bird brains.
On the other hand they are just personalizing and ad libbing,
which is encouraged in their job up to a point.

Presenters on national TV shouldn't talk about the weather
in a personal context, as in 'wasn't it terrible this morning as
I drove into work'. Most of the rest of the country won't be
able to relate to that.
It's not a local programme, it's *national*.
