How do you sue the BBC - ruined fuel tank painting :(
MikeR - 16/10/10 at 08:33 PM

Right, I'm really frustrated with the BBC weather web site. For the last two days i've checked the forecast in the morning and started to paint my fuel tank.

Both days its not going to rain till the evening. BOTH days its rained in the middle of the day - just when i'm painting the damned tank outside. ARRGGHH.

Now does anyone know any of these no win / fee lawyers that do ruined painting instead of car crashes or accidents at work?

yep pushed mine in and out a few times for a sharp shower today.

I've learnt never to trust the BBC weather reports they frequently change completely during the day.

There's going to be a 50% chance of rain today.
That means it will either rain, or it won't.

You do realise the weather report is little more than an educated guess, and you'd probably be better off by looking at your cat?

Ours is eating like a motherf***er and getting pretty fat. I reckon we're gonna have a c-c-c-cold winter

Its a very educated guess - you've got to study for years to get into the met office. The thing is, i'm not looking at a long range forecast. I'm looking in the morning ofr 4 hours time ..... if they can't get that right, what hope is there for humanity (ok, possibly a slight over reaction).

I'd blame global warming then...

MikeR - 18/10/10 at 08:01 PM
