Day Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Doris? seriously? The Americans do a lot of things that we shouldn't copy, this is high up on the list. Need to go back to the "It's a bit windy out init" days, the way this country deals with a cm of snow is pathetic without starting this rubbish as well.

Wolfie Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 It's when they have to have the obligatory "Reporter standing close to sea wall with big waves" bit on the news. Yes. Thanks. I do know what wind is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uttoxram75 Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Didn't the scientists name them just to amuse themselves, you know, instead of talking about Storm 827649, that type of thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ariotofmyown Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Remember when it just used to be weather rather than news? Eg temperatures could plummet to -10 tonight (up a hill in the middle of nowhere whereas it will be -1 in the town). Send us your snow pics as we are desperate for any form of 'content'. Britain basks in barmy temperatures. It's even hotter than these 'hot' places. Britain (England) is best. Unlucky Johnny Foreigner. We win again.

Anon Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 If we must insist on pointlessly anthropomorphising weather by naming storms we should at least give them insulting names. That way you could say, "I was late for my meeting because D*ckhead took out power cables on the east coast mainline" or "B*stard smashed up the patio furniture so I'll have to go to B&Q this weekend."

PistoldPete2 Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 I have never known a Doris that is anything less than frightening. We were warned Doris was coming and although her earlier visit was postponed, she made up for it yesterday. But a storm Colin just wouldn't sound so fearsome.
