I've noticed that the TV news forecasters arn't committing themselves beyond Friday... "...Still a lot of uncertainly about the weekend..." said one.

A long range forecast on Skynews these days is just two days! Two days! That's not a long range forecast. I think they're scared of getting it wrong... which, let's face it, they usually do anyway.

Now, where's my seaweed....?
