Well, I don't think there's much disagreement that "at least it'll be
mild"
wins January's cliché of the month competition.

Can I propose we identify a cliché of the month every month this year,
then in December vote for the winner, and make an official award to
the most frequent perpetrator. What we need to do, although there's
no urgency, is to identify an appropriate prize.

Someone has to put this one forward:

"As ever more runs are needed"

from our resident MRF Darren Prescott whenever anything remotely interesting
looks like developing so it could be any month.

Hi Alan,

Not really weather-related but mine is "At the end of the day".
It's dark, nothing else.

"It ain't over till the fat lady sings" This has now been altered to "It
ain't over till the fat scandi high sings" or some thing like that.

"At the end off the day though" the "It going to be a wet 'old' day" is
the one that really "Gets my goat" . This is frequently used by the "Sian
Philips and Louise Leer's of this world.
However it's too early to judge this frivlous thread whilst the "Jury's
still out"

Cliché'd regards peeps

Due too "Circumstances beyond my control" (Stupidity)
Here's the correct version with the "Clitches ironed out"

"It ain't over till the fat lady sings" This has now been altered to "It
ain't over till the fat scandi high sings" or some thing like that.

"At the end off the day though" the "It's going to be a wet 'old' day" is
the one that really "Gets my goat" . This is frequently used by the "Sian
Lloyd's and Louise Leer's of this world.

"showers pecking at the coast"


Showers always seem to 'peck away' at the west coast and 'flirt' with the east
coast.

My personal dislike is rain 'waiting in the wings'.

Somehow I get the feeling that "at least it will be mild" will win
February's award as well, probably "from the word go".
My long term forecast is for it to win October, November and December as
well.
There's a good chance that it could also win the all time climatic change
Greenhouse award and the Bartlett High award for lifetime achievements in
the over-use of cliches.

My suggestion would be 'and forecasters say the worst is yet to come' - not only because its a cliche but because it is almost
always, unerringly wheeled out precisely when the worst has actually come and gone!

Am I allowed complain about my mother-in-laws favourite saying of 'oh,
its a top coat warmer here'. She also overuses 'play it by ear' and
'we'll cross that bridge when we come to it', but they are definitely
OT.

also, probably doesn't count as a cliché, but I can't stand 'spits and
spots'
