spread around like wildfire. I generally keep silent on these matters :-)


Being "the bloke who does the weather" amongst my friends, I reckon about 25% of them will ask me at some point in the winter "I've heard we're going to get a cold winter/month/spell - is this true?"

I usually ask whether they read it in the Mail/Express...
