    I'll get ziggy to send some as he's bound to have plenty :dbgrtmb: It's dead easy to use - you hang it outside your door and if it's wet, it's raining and if it's covered in frost it's frosty.

          I've previously mentioned somewhere about how I hate the Met Office revising there their forecasts down a few degrees in the early hours after everybody has decided not to cover up, put heating on, etc., but here's another example of bad practice - deleting the 4:00 - 7:00 am forecast (when it's going to be coldest) shortly after 2:00 am, with hours still to go:

          Are the forecasts deliberately meant to confuse?
          bbc weather for Wareham next Monday max 19c
          Yahoo weather for Wareham next Monday max 12c
          ???????

            If it wiggles about it is windy, dangles down no wind, fluttering at 30 degs wind 20mph horizontal Hurricane, pointing up Tornado

                Can you picture Jack in traditional highland attire?

                Time for an old joke:

                Lady: "Is anything worn under the kilt?"

                Kilt wearer: "No madam, it's in perfect working order"

                      We get a lot of our fun from drawing the wrong conclusion from imprecision :heehee:
