His voice was grave, his smart suit shining with concern. 'A really nasty day in norn Iron; windy, cold, wet and the weekend will be worse' So of course it is a glorious day. And no doubt the mid day forecast will reflect this when the Blether Centre's 'man on the spot' gets out of bed, opens his window, has a look and phones his fellow conspirators across the water. The old system of forecasting, with its pieces of seaweed and the entrails of a duck was much more accurate. Sadly the entrails of ducks, especially those in Fife are being consulted for a different purpose and Huttonian is doing his best by keeping a sharp eye open for snuffling swans. Berwick upon Tweed is not the place to be at the moment as it has the second largest colony of swans in the entire UK so I hope the Aviator flu experts in the Hutton Think Tank (Sniffles and snuffles and extra snot section) are landing a hand. Their entrailascope is the most modern in Europe and will be in full working mode when they have acquired the three AAA batteries required and not supplied with the original box.
Full report later. If we are spared, of course.
