Don't know about other areas but around here we seem to have to thank (as in wave to) almost every driver who pauses in their journey for you even when you have the right of way. End up flapping one hand around for half the journey. It's got so bad that I've found myself thanking people who have stopped at the red light at the temporary traffic lights in the village. I'm all for courtesy but...

Yes but I bet you get annoyed if people don't thank you. I know I do!

That certainly gets me slightly mildly miffed. But don't get me started on people who thank you after they barge through as if you'd willing let them proceed rather than having had to slam your brakes on...

That applies to pedestrians also... esp. the commuting variety!

Several years ago, there was a motion in the house of commons put forward by some MP (I can’t remember who), saying that all Fortune tellers, Mystics and Palm readers etc. should have to prove that what they predict was in fact true and based on fact. Well I would go further and say that Weather forecasting should also be lumped in with these other forms of Witchcraft. I am sure if in any other profession we were so vague and wrong in our predictions we wouldn’t last the day. It’s time these fakers were shown as the frauds that they are.
Can't you see can't you see that you're rocking the boat?

Not sure you can sack a weather forecast. And if you mean forecaster, who would have the nerve to sack breakfast TV goddess and Stranglers fan Carol Kirkwood?
