The weather symbol - as it says on the page - indicates the "predominant" weather for the twelve hour period, and it's the forecast that was issued that morning by the Met Office, not an observation of what's happening "now".

The weather symbol – as it says on the page – indicates the “predominant” weather for the twelve hour period, and it’s the forecast that was issued that morning by the Met Office, not an observation of what’s happening “now”.

Apart from a minor deviation (best not to mention the salad again) you seem to be shaping up nicely. Now pay keen attention to what I'm about to tell you. Nature has got nothing to do with eroding one's innate inclination to spread the milk of human kindness and thus maintain a joyful disposition. It's people, always people that chip inexorably away at the thin veneer we refer to as tolerance. So I will give you a piece of invaluable advice to speed you on the cantankerous journey that stretches out before you. Actively search out those individuals who patently have shit for brains. They exist in huge numbers within the political sphere but also exist in exceedingly large numbers within most sectors of government agencies, local authorities, Council marketing departments etc. Those absolute bastards at Capita deserve a very special mention of their own. I thoroughly recommend a weekly call to your local council to enquire as to why… they haven't swept your road this year/…installed huge fuck off plasma TV screens in their reception which then display an unchanging notice the size of a post-it-note etc etc etc. The list of enquiries is of course endless. By the time your call is finished you will have visibly aged. This torturous exercise will hasten the aim of every young grumpy bastard which is of course to graduate to that blissful state of old grumpy bastard. Good luck. You can indeed call me Bill.

I am currently a grumpy young bastard, and I've every faith that nature will assist me in my metamorphasis into Grumpy old bastard in the coming years. Oh, and I have a salad once a week, the other days I eat raw meat, and babies and stuff. Bill – I can call you Bill?

This would negate the need for an accurate weather forecast, since everyone would be at home waiting for the next bulletin, to fit in a quick shuffle after the 6'O'clock news. I can hear it now... "Tonight it's getting warm and wet down south" Yeah....... you bet it is bitch, talk to me some more... mmmmmm All weather girls should wear bikinis.

Which means all the real weathermen have got lost in a maze of roundabouts and underpasses, and the forecasts are currently being generated by a single mum called Doreen and her 15 bastard babies.
