Hail Ceasar!



Heard on the radio this week and doubtless reported here before.

Not only have you committed the cardinal sin of not quoting what you
are responding to, thereby rendering your response meaningless, but
you don't seem to have read or understood what I wrote, i.e. "Heard
on the radio this week and doubtless reported here before."


I've also no idea what Jim is on about but I'm afraid that's par for the
course where he is concerned. Perhaps he was pointing out that it was
Bert Foord who was the first weatherman to act a part from a Shakespeare
play (Hamlet?) in a satirical TV show. NSMAPMAWOL, I think.

Any road up, getting back to the history of weather forecasting,
according to the Radio Times (page 7) there is a 'Timeshift' programme
on BBC4 at 2130 Tuesday next week entitled 'Hurricanes and Heatwave:
The highs and Lows of British Weather'. However, the majority view of
the RT is that it's on Wednesday 8th, and is followed by 'Horizon:
Global Weirding' which I reckon is a repeat but is not flagged as such.
