xmetman writes I thought when I looked at the temperature of 17.5°C here this morning as I got up I thought that here in the SW we would be the warmest place in the British Isles but no, most places even northern Scotland are in the range 16-18°C, not surprising really when most of us are sat in a broad warm sector. It's strange that Carole would say that we are sat between two weather fronts on this mornings forecast rather than use the phrase 'warm sector', she obviously thought that it was far too technical a term for the general viewer to understand. If she really said "we are sat" rather than "we are sitting" then I suppose it's not that surprising, but just another sad reminder that for some reason the more grammatical "we are sitting" seems to be falling into disuse. I inwardly wince every time I hear someone on radio or TV say "I was sat" or "I was stood", which means that I wince an awful lot. Sorry for the rant, but it's a particular bugbear of mine. -- John Hall "Honest criticism is hard to take, particularly from a relative, a friend, an acquaintance, or a stranger." Franklin P Jones |
