* A growing trend is being pioneered by the BBC in weather persons.
First we had boring old guys telling us about the weather who looked dead serious and pointed vaguely at a map of Britain. Then we had eye-candy female weather persons waving vaguely at a map of Britain. Then we had a new map of Britain, the dimensions of which were not geographic but by regional importance, until some northeners finally noticed (I was astounded they knew where they were on the map) and complained. Now the BBC is extending its range of camp male weather persons. Some of the idiotic, useless baby-boomers down the winebar all yell in falsetto 'Shut that door' at the end of the weather, for reasons lost on me. I have reported these people to the police on more than one occasion but needless to say no action has, as yet, been taken. Perhaps the weather could be handed over to the producer of 'Little Britain' for a complete makeover.
