Met Office Epic Fail

This message this really should be communicated throughout the Met office who today admitted that their prediction of \"odds on for a Barbecue summer\" was an epic fail. Met Office revised forecast were issued today suggesting that the weather for the coming months could be changeable. Well blow me down with a deflating lilo - summer in Britain - changeable weather - give them boys a pay rise.

As reliable as a man and a van

The statement from the Met Office came on the radio as I waited for a hired van and a man to help shift some furniture - the roof rack on the Bentley really is only strong enough to support a longboard and having taken the forecst by the Met Office on board I figured I'd let soemone else heave ho the beds and sofas around in the heat so hired a man with his jolly hire van.

I had been browsing my favourite price comparison site and came across a site that was seling new beds at half the price of high street bed shops - the only catch was that they charged a fortune for delivery - hence the economics of hiring a van (plus man) to pick up the beds and drop them off at both houses.

The problem I've always found with van hire is they are white vans and as such attract a lot of attention from spotters of \"white van man\" - another reason to pay extra for the man with the van.
