Thank you for the compliment (?), but I've no desire to be an Aunt
Sally, which any leading figure in an organisation forecasting the
weather is inevitably going to be. It's one of those positions like
England football manager (or come to that Prime Minister) that can only
end in tears for the occupant.

I wouldn't worry about it. With Mr Garvey as chief forecaster it's not
as though you will be issuing many forecasts.

You won't find me criticising After Dark - it was my favourite nightclub in Reading during student days.
