Not to be taken entirely seriously,
but the BBC 5-day forecast http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/5day.shtml for Godalming, United Kingdom shows Friday's weather as a maximum temperature of 27, with 'sleet shower'. I lack the will to mention this to the BBC. Meanwhile, today's forecast of 'light rain' seems not to do justice to the continuous rain which has steadily strengthened from a light drizzle in the morning to a persistent dour downpour. Not stair-rods, not torrential, not spectacular, just the rate which makes one reluctant to go out in it. Thesis for someone in perceptions of weather varying with contrast from immediately previous weather. -- Peter Thomas |

It can't all be down to that ******* accountant brained idiot can it? |
