And the odd thing is that he's one of the few of the weather presenters around the place who have the Met degree from Reading. Just goes to show a brain doesn't necessarily mean you have the skills to impart information to the public.
My two penneth is that Peter Gibbs is (was?) the best, closely followed by Helen Willetts.

I certainly agree about Peter Gibbs but not Helen Willetts. She seems to be perpetually on the verge of giggles as if someone is pulling faces at her in the studio or waving a giant plastic phallus about. Most of the other female presenters are pretty good. I'm talking about Radio 4 here.

Isn't that why he said "I'm talking about Radio 4 here" in the
final sentence of his post?

Sorry Freddie,
Missed your comment amongst the avalanche of hughes insults.
Yes, Which is why I said this: The majority view in the hughes head is that no presenter, **on any programme** is good enough. Hence my comment.'
My comment was; 'Well would you believe it?', because all hughes ever does is complain about presenters, Radio 4, or TV (which he 'hardly ever watches' - his own comment, but he always knows enough to criticise the presenters). He never has a decent word to say about them and misses the point completely that he is not their target audience.
