Posting as much for the wonderful language of the BBC News 24
forecaster a few mins ago. I didn't catch his name, but congratulations are surely due for inventing a new (and totally pc) alternative to the more traditional "Brass Monkeys". He was getting quite excited about double digit minus temps in the countryside and some pretty low values in the city centres (-7C in Manchester and -5C in London). Having been duly advised, I'd better get cracking on checking the lagging on my exposed pipes then. (My brass monkeys are currently covered in the quite significant remains of Monday's snow, BTW). - Tom. |

I've heard Beeb forecasters of yore saying a "pipe-busting frost"... Cheers Richard |

I believe I am the only person who has ever uttered the words "it's a little parky this morning" in a formal weather forecast, sat in the same studio as Michael Parkinson. (LBC, circa 1993). He did not like it. Philip (PS There's more where that come from, too) |
