It is raining steadily in our back garden (and presumably in the front as well) as the rest of the UK apparently basks in a glorious Indian Summer. Mr Fish's weather map shows golden sun symbols for everywhere but around here where the sun is shown peeping coyly out from behind fluffy white clouds. The Hutton effect in reverse and another case of lies, damn lies, statistics, press briefings and weather forecasts. Something prompted me to access the BBC weather centre :
www.bbc.co.uk/weather/wildguesses . There in all his glory is Mr Fish flanked by his 19 disciples all smiling happily. Another picture shows Mr F chuckling at the camera with his finger pointing at the weather map of the UK covered in downpours and hurricanes. A MBE well earned.
