I know that I'm a bit of a moaner especially when it comes to TV weather presenters, and I know it can't be an easy job - a bit like an airline pilot - it looks a lot better that it actually is. But they do have away about them as they deliver the forecastand, and I know that we can't all be the same but...
"a lot of cloud today" whats wrong with "cloudy" or the classic "rather cloudy" which gives you a little more latitude. Something in the same vein (or should that be vane when we are talking about the weather) "there's going to be a lot of clear skies tonight" - this is a bit of a David Braine favourite - why not just "clear" or "clear spells" or "clear intervals" or anything else. They all take up less words and we know exactly how clear its likely to be.
I could go on, but at least now I feel that I've told someone and shared my own pettiness, almost as if I've been to confession, is that what forums are for to get things of our chest to just let something out to audience you may have never met?
Anyway on a less philosophical note we now have 12 subscribers now and who knows how many people looking in from other groups who shall remain anonymous, and so far not a mention of something starting with b and ending in exit!
