The infamous Weather Channels

I have heard about them before I had travelled abroad. About how they are a part of everyone's life. About how you cannot leave home without finding out how the weather is going to be, what the wind-chill factor is.

This is my third visit to Canada over the last year and largely its all bollocks. As in when its snowing outside they will tell you its gonna snow. Thats being very clever eh? If they tell you its going to be sunny, rest assured you might find flurries or snow that day. The week's prediction was sunny, going up to 10 degrees. But it went all haywire as usual. Gusts of wind, rattling the window panes, sudden flurries. Basically anything but sunny weather.

In London, I don't think they have a weather channel. They gave up predicting the weather there long ago. If you take your raincoat and umbrella it won't rain for sure. If you don't it will rain. Sometimes it just rains. Period.
