    Clive James summed it all up quite eloquently! 😉


    Windows is shutting down, and grammar are
    On their last leg. So what am we to do?
    A letter of complaint go just so far,
    Proving the only one in step are you.

    Better, perhaps, to simply let it goes.
    A sentence have to be screwed pretty bad
    Before they gets to where you doesnt knows
    The meaning what it must of meant to had.

    The meteor have hit. Extinction spread,
    But evolution do not stop for that.
    A mutant languages rise from the dead
    And all them rules is suddenly old hat.

    Too bad for we, us what has had so long
    The best seat from the only game in town.
    But there it am, and whom can say its wrong?
    Those are the break. Windows is shutting down.

    @Rubytoo I know we're a maritime nation but in previous years I have very rarely seen two weather forecasts which basically totally contradict each other.  That seems to be commonplace now.

    This was the Met office comparing their weekend forecast model to the European model last week.

    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

    A couple of weeks ago Carol Kirkwood showed two alternative models for the weather just 2 days after she showed them.  They were wildly different.  I think the weather patterns are just so screwed up now that prediction is very, very difficult.

    @KT53
    Yes it is maddeningly commonplace, we have two different forecast thingies we use here, and the variation is crazy. 
    Add to that my phone one which I use to stare at blankly in the mornings before the coffee has infiltrated. 

    Wonder if we are not better off looking out the window, and pack for all eventualities if going out for the day..

    You should see the people picking up their kids on the school run here. I'll be in full waterproofs and some of them will be in shorts and flipflops. It was raining quite hard last week and the teacher refused to let me son out until I'd removed my hood so she could see more than my eyes peeking out.
