I flat refuse to put the missus hammock together, seemed to be the kiss of death for our summer last year 
Also the BBQ is staying in the shed for now, just wheeled out if needed rather that left out with the cover on as I'm sure that didn't help last year too

Their forecast from Met Office: Trend of mild winters continues

Their summing up of the winter from Met Office: Coldest winter for a decade
" ... 25 February 2009 Mild weather is expected to see out what remains of winter. Despite this, it is expected to be the coldest UK winter since 1995/96, according to provisional Met Office figures. The low temperatures have also been accompanied at times by heavy snow. During early February, the heaviest snowfall for 18 years was experienced over many areas of the UK ... " ..
F3ckin' useless! Which is why I'll be keeping the brolly in the car ..... and trusting any weather forecast about 12 hours ahead only.

The Met Office can't forecast what we had yesterday let alone for months ahead. We would be better closing them down and saving some money. Use the French instead as their forecasts are usually more accurate.
