20 years ago, I could get a perfect forecast of precipitate in the air between Colwyn bay and Prestatyn from the weather station reports given on the BBC shipping broadcast. Then for some inexplicable reason they stopped giving them and when I finally got a computer with an ISP, I could no longer manage to tell what the air was doing, mist, dry or fog.

I just assumed it was smething to do with renaming the sea areas. It never occurred to me it was all about the Miners. How could I possibly comprehend that a god standard like the Net Office would be giving me lead coinage. And the thing wasI already knew that pennies were magnetic and ever so slightly bigger than they used to be.

If I hadn't been so naive I could have been the first person to realise tha the government were fiddling the meteorological books. And that I have the experts on this group to thank for permitting it.

And now they have the ****ing cheek to killfile me.

But I still have a card to play in the beggar's poker. Tonight we are in for a misty night and in the morning ground frost, if we are lucky. otherwise we will be looking at horse tracks. Four sets as he closes down the liars.

Interesting all the way.
Fruimenty pud anyone?
