Countryfile used to have "The weather for farmers", as if somehow farmers got different weather to everyone else.
They could dispense with the weather report entirely and just say "yes it's raining again"Meteorologists at the corporation have confirmed they pick the symbol that summarises the day’s weather based on the dreariest part of the forecast.
So 12 hours of sun, 1 hour of rain and the BBC's app shows the raining symbol for the day.

Special forecasts - they have to spread manure on warm days when a gentle wind is blowing towards residential areas.Cotty said:

Do those actually work? I'm terrified of those things being some sort of spyware (ok, terrified might be stretch, but I'm a bit hesitant)https://getadblock.com/en/block-youtube-ads-with-a...

I appreciate this is singularly my problem.
Looking in a shop window that I'm about to enter. Only to see ZERO other customers even browsing and at least 3 members of staff just waiting to pounce on you as soon as you even open the door. I won't even enter those stores it bugs me so much!
3 shops today I wanted to enter but didn't even bother!
I like to buy clothes in person. (cause I'm always between sizes no matter what it is!) But this over staffing in shops pushes me towards online, and then just returning whatever I don't like, instead of being harassed for 5 mins in person

CDG is on of the worst airports I've been through. Transferring internally is a nightmare. The most wonderful experience I've had there is when I had 3 hours to "transfer" but as luck would have it I was already in the correct part of the airport - so I didn't bother to try to go anywhere else, and I was able to watch the appalling queues getting in to where I already was.
If CDG is "one of the worst" airports you've been though, you clearly haven't been through many airports. I wouldn't even call it the worst in Europe, Frankfurt is far worse and there's plenty of major European airports I haven't been thought so the bottom of the barrel might not even be there. I'd take CDG over any American airport and don't even get me started on the nightmare that Australian airports are.

Farmers need to know if there will be a week of sun so they can dry their autumn limperscrotes, and if there'll be moistness so they can skitter a few acres of brown dangleberries.

The dimwit tart yesterday that kakked herself because there was an ambulance coming up in her rear view mirror. Stopped inappropriately on a busy A road that was about to open up into a dual carriageway.
Yes, it seems to happen a lot.Should be obvious that if there are blue lights behind you then keep going! At least the emergency vehicle is then keeping going.
