Thomas Schaffernacker had something of a Brian Johnston/Jonathan Agnew moment
when delivering the weather forecast just before today's 1 p.m. News on Radio
4. He meant to say something along the lines of "overnight showers at
Glastonbury will lead to a muddy site". For the last 2 words he actually said
"muddy ****e". He then started laughing and couldn't stop and the rest of the
forecast was just lost. Much more entertaining than the usual presentation :-)
I don't know if the forecast is available on iPlayer but, if it is, it's worth
a listen. I felt for the fellow. It must have been very embarrassing.

You beat me to it, Norman. Even though I think he's not a
terribly good presenter (waffle, waffle) I actually felt sorry for
him. Must be going soft in my old age.

I believe you can get medication for that.

As for Schaffernaker, he was right - that stuff is for musical
