Surely they can't all be wrong?

I don't pay much credence to newspaper weather reports. I prefer to put my trust in my `Weather Stone` that's in the garden.

It's suspended by a string and hung from a tree branch.

If it's warm to the touch and stationary, it's fine and sunny.
If it's wet, it's raining.
If it's swinging about, it's windy.
If it's cold to the touch and white at the top, it's snowing.

I imagine millions trudging through the tundra just to destroy their voting paper.

Or is it just me?

Sounds very efficient - every home should have one! Less smelly than seaweed.

Posted mine too.

I see in todays paper it is forecasting 70 mph winds across the country from Blackpool to Cornwall, starting tomorrow afternoon.
Then to add to our misery . . . heavy rain and snow on voting day!

We'll just have to wait and see. Nowt much we can do about it.
