Some more things that annoy me:
Weather forecasters; experts in two word alliteration!
Why can they not speak the same sort of language as the majority of the population?
Why do they seem to have some sort of compulsion to show off their education (GCE English Language, Communications & Media Studies etc) when trying to describe the weather?
Some examples are..."Damp and Dismal"..."Damage & Destruction"..."Misty & Murky"..."Wet & Windy"..."Spits & Spots" (of rain).
How about this for an idea?
Why don't they have a go at describing the weather with the following terms?
"Sunny"
"Raining"
"Windy"
I think we all understand those terms well enough (and if you don't, you are obviously not British!).
