We've been promised heavy rain on several occasions over the the last 2 weeks and seen barely a drop.
That's because all the rain ended up in Scotland....
I hope that was somewhere not near your home keep to the Fen Causeway
I know know those weather maps on the BBC seem awfully convincing, but if in grubby reality those clouds don't make rain, I'd say thems wuz lyin'.
My father spent his national service as a meteorolgist for the RAF, and so the one piece of TV he does absolutely sit to watch every day is the weather forecast. He is utterly convinced that ever since the Michael Fish Hurricane incident of the mid 80's that the BBC has been forcasting the weather worse than the underlying data suggests. After all no one complains if the forcaster gets the weather wrong and it turns out better than forcast. Life should consist in at least fifty percent pure waste of time, and the rest doing what you please.
