The BBC is at it again with its
meteorogical terrorism. This time it is snow which is going to cause massive disruption. Although the main focus of destruction is said to be the South East-if only because it contains the most potential terrifees Scotland is getting an unfavourable mention as well. I suspect that most of the weather station employees are on holiday and have left fearsome forecasts on line so as (A) to cause maximum terror and (B) to have a good excuse for not coming in to work tomorrow-hence the focus on the SE. All over Scotland young and vulnerable families are packing desperate to set off out of danger two days early before the weather closes in completely-if they are heading for London they plan to go down the West Coast and hole up in sunny Birmingham until the South East is declared safe. In the SE itself young and vulnerable families and old vulnerable people are panic buying despite all shops being closed for Boxing Day. Candles are being dusted off and match boxes placed`in strategic places for the time that the power fails as `pylons collapse under tons of snow. All leave is cancelled and troops on standby have a choice of Baghdad or Basildon for emergency duty.
Its all lies of course and the BBC weather people are rolling on the floors of their opulent mansions in St Johns Wood roaring with laughter at all the distress they are causing to the young, the vulnerable and the elderly. They know well that sultry sunny weather is inevitable but forecasting that is no fun when with a click of a mouse you can terrify the y,v and e without fear of effective comeback. We Merseians are made of sterner stuff and you can't faze us with your southern fanciful imaginings.
Oh btw Huttonian ans the wife are returning from the Hielands a day earlier than planned.
Why on earth I hear you cry?
Because the forecast is so bad.
And you can't take any chances. Can you?
