Default BBC Weatherman Daniel Corbett

Is it just me, or do others out there find BBC weatherforcast presented by Daniel Corbett one of the most entertaining spots on TV? His style of presentation never ceases to make me grin from ear to ear.

OK so I'm nutty as well!

TV weather forecasts?

They all ought to be prosecuted under the trades descriptions act

And as for some of the so-called meteorologist bimbos: last year one of them referred to high tides as being due to the summer "equinox"

Alcazar
from the Observer newspaper
http://www.observer.co.uk/uk_news/st...805585,00.html

"One of the highest tides ever seen in Britain threatens to be the
sternest test the country's sea defences will see for 100 years. As
the Moon's orbit swings it close to Earth and into a perfect
alignment with the Sun - a phenomenon known as the autumn equinox - a
huge surge in gravitational pull will draw tides up to alarming
levels. Billions of tonnes of water will be on the move"

Who'se the bimbo

Thanks Jye, beat me to it.

I think the lass was confused between Spring/Autumn EQUINOXES, and Summer/Winter SOLSTICES

"that's the weather... for now" He was on the beeb a couple of years ago but went back to the states. He turns weather into 2 mins of entertainment.

Yep, that's all it is: a bloody joke, weather forecasting.

I suppose the fact that he originates from Dagenham, Essex could explain quite a lot!
