nice one,tells it like it is, not a mention of curry


I have noticed that Philip Eden has a habit of always trying to
downplay things. To call record temperatures in October merely
"unusual" is stretching the meaning of the word too far IMO.

Well it most certainly is 'unusual' but better words would be
'exceptional' or even 'unprecedented'. Such words should be
used sparingly but I think this current hot spell easily warrants it.

Don't get me started on 'freak' weather though, aaarrrghhh!
