Default Wall's sausages and the UKMO forecast

Yesterday my wife pointed out to me that on the packet of said sausages
was a competition to predict the temperature at 2pm in your local area.
Having many years ago been the instigator of a similar competition on
here I thought I would go to the link and have a go. After all there was
a prize of £1 for every deg C! So having consulted the charts, decided
the Met Office forecast of 21C was undercooked ;-) I went for 22.5C.
Of course it all went t's up and ended up being another magnificent
sunny day with temp at 2pm being 28C.
Looking at the charts though I still might get my bangers later for
supper ;-)

I stopped using their sausages ever since I heard that Wall's have ears.

*insert cymbal crash*

I take not credit for the above joke that belongs to Victor Lewis-Smith from about 1991.

I think it's far older than that, though I can't recall when I heard it
first.

I first heard that watching Will Hay on Clacton Pier - before Victor Smith-Lewis was out of his middle class short trousers

More 'toad-in-the-hole' on Brighton Pier.

Can I say that?
