Title: Bloody Weather Forecasters
Post by: Just One More on April 28, 2008, 08:12:57 AM
When the Met Office were based at Bracknell one of there proud boasts was that they had one of the most powerful computers in the world. Since they moved to Exeter I reckon they use pine cones, a clump of seaweed and ask how grannies rheumatism is before deciding on the weather forecast

On Friday they forecast a great day for Saturday, and then lots of rain on Sunday. So, a great day in the Cotswolds on Saturday was had. On Sunday the day started off with heavy rain. Within half an hour it had stopped. So odds and sods were done through the day while it was supposed to have been pissing down outside. We could have fired up the barbie for the first time this year

I bet Barman’s forecast always says “scorchio”

Anyway, here’s tomorrows forecast from those barstewards at Exeter

It is generally Scorchio but it is a little unsettled at the moment...

It has just clouded over badly here too. I didn't bring a coat! And I'm wearing summer shoes!  angry041:

Funnily enough, I'm wearing my summer shoes too (same ones I wear in spring, autumn and winter too)

My missus has four pairs of shoes in the car boot for when we go out at weekends. Different pairs get worn depending on what we are doing. Me, I wear the same ones regardless.

I've never counted them, but I reckon she must have about 30+ pairs of shoes/boots. I realise that men and womens opinions on shoes differ greatly Wenchy, but what do you or anybody else consider to be an accepable number of pairs to own?

(I have five pairs including one pair for gardening)

Are they properly insured?

According to Mrs S#2 "A girl cannot have too many pairs of shoes"

I have the problem of having to have two pairs on when I go out  whistle:

I'm not really a proper girl when it comes to shoes. Because I don't drive I do an awful lot of walking and my shoe attire does reflect that. So basically it is three pairs of whatever I am wearing to work at the time, one pair of knee high boots, one pair of wellies. Those are standard fare. Then there are three pairs of flip flops, two pairs of trainers and probably five pairs of dress shoes.

AAahh the age old quandry of how many pairs of shoes should one have  ... think the answer is never enough really if you are a girl.

I have over 40 pairs and have good reasons for buying all of them  redface:

A girl just have to have options and it is dependant on so many things,
the weather
the length of skirt / dress
terrain
length of time you will be walking
who your trying to impress
etc etc etc

I have a cousin who visits occassionally. Last summer Mrs S#2 commented that the "mules" she was wearing were very nice. "Oh" replied the cousin "These are my second best holiday evening flip flops".......

No chaps I couldn't work it out either.  noooo:

A girl just have to have options and it is dependant on just one thing, the magic word - SALE. Although we tell our other halves its because of many thing,
the weather
the length of skirt / dress
terrain
length of time you will be walking
who your trying to impress
etc etc etc


Corrected for you Miss D.  whistle:

If I wanted to give someone a good going over I wouldn't ruin a perfectly good pair of shoes on them  lol: and I'm afraid the word Sale has no impact on whether I would or would not buy a pair of shoes  cry:

Although I confess I have a beautiful pair that just hurt so much that I am trying to break them in slowly - this is what you need servants with the same size feet for sad32:

It's coming down like bl**dy stairrods here at the moment. Sort of rain that bounces up two feet after it hits the ground. The High Street outside is like a river as the run off from the mountain has now arrived to join the rain.  eeek:
