Yes, but you have made some of those up. And, how many of those worked for the Met Office? I know that George Wind worked for the MO, and Ian Gale. In fact, Ian's initials were I.C., which made him I C Gale. There was a Flood at the MO, was it Colin Flood? Sorry, my memory is going. I'm sure there are more. |

I did say famous names who would have made ideal weather presenters. Now call me old fashioned but there was some sort of hint in there. |

You are old fashioned if you think some of those names are 'famous'. I have never even heard of a number of them, and anyone can call themselves Eddy, but it doesn't make them famous. I breath a sigh of relief that you could not be bothered with any more. I was half expecting you to make up an obscure punk band called "Rotor Streaming". |
