Bravo Mr Fish. And Good bye
“Mr Fish, 60, a BBC veteran who earlier this year celebrated his 30th anniversary as a television weather forecaster, was said to be "surprised and deeply honoured" to receive an MBE for services to his profession.”
Says the BBC website proudly. Being in Oz we missed out on the proper Honours List. So this came as a shock. But was drawn to Huttonian’s attention by the senior grandaughter in her first e-mail ever (She is 8 months old ) I thought something must be in the air, as it were, as today in Canberra it is actually dreich, windy and cold. All the world is celebrating the Veteran and his forty years of dreadful weather. No Order of Australia as yet but he certainly deserves one.
Perhaps this is a gentle hint from HM the Q? Take your gong and go. But my advice to honorands: do not go to Buck House the same day as Mr Fish. Not in all those glad rags. It will be
awfu’ dreich
