In summary: breezes.

Here's hoping he gets it wrong.

anti-climax.

his last forecast on breakfast this morning was quite moving, with partridge-esque overtones

I thought it was after the ten o'clock news? I like him coz he likes cold weather.

He gets the thumbs up from me. I didn't know he was finishing. There are plenty of young pretenders though.

its a shame no one who looks like Fish or has his bumbling charisma would make it to doing TV forecasts now...

Rob McElwee is still the best though.

― jel -- (jel), Wednesday, 6 October 2004 17:02 (twenty-one years ago)

They are still pretty bumbling on the whole, I think.

John Kettley was a weatherman,
and so was Michael Fish.

they played a song which mentioned Michael Fish on BBC Breakfast which wasn't Tribe of Toffs' John Kettley is a Weatherman! Don't know what it was tho - 2 girls singing. Anyone?

― MarkH (MarkH), Wednesday, 6 October 2004 18:42 (twenty-one years ago)

Oh, I know the song you mean - it was kind of punkish, right?

(I have no idea what the artist or title was, though. Sorry)

I like Francis Wilson on Sky News because he's always drunk, stumbling about and slurring his words.

he said a hurricane was not going to hit us, which did 4 points
his voice appears on the prodigy's experience 5 points
9/10 not bad for a weather man

Being a meteorological pedant, he maintains still that it wasn't technically a hurricane.

He did his last Countryfile weather last weekend, but they said he was retiring in 6 weeks. I suspect he'll spend the next month and a half doing his last Today programme weather, his last World Service weather etc.

meteorological ROCKIST, you mean.
