Never thought we see a BBC weatherman sing the praises of someone who is so relentlessly attacked by folk on here and elsewhere. Looks like the rehabilitation of the Haygate One has started? Is it time we gave Piers a second chance or is it a case, for me, that absentness makes heart grow fonder? Big Jim
