That last phrase is the only one he delivers as if he means it. Tudor Hughes, Warlingham, Surrey. |

The king ( or is it Queen ?) of 'as we go through the ..'. is definitely
Laura whatshername, I have counted her using that expression nine times in one two minute forecast ,so would rival desperate Dans use of the term 'parts of' very well. I wonder if he uses that shovelling movement with his hands when broadcasting on radio...? RonB "Col" wrote in message ... "Tudor Hughes" wrote in message ...

Tomasz of course originates from Poland.
For all I know “liddle” in Polish might mean “he with a small prick”. I normally read Liddle on a Sunday but that article was so stupid (depressions moving westwards into Britain from Ukraine, or something similar would you believe!) he is now off my list. If he can’t write sense about something that I do know just a little about, how can I possibly have any confidence when he writes about something where I know nothing? Jack |

Not completely out of the realms of possibility though! Not sure about as far east as Ukraine, but anyone who attempted to do anything outdoors on Nov 1st last year will remember only too well what a low moving in from the east is like :-) Seriously though, agreed the article has many slip ups. No one ever said this month had a 65% chance of barbecue conditions or whatever, it was the whole summer.... Nick |
