Beware The Wicked Yellow Warning Witch Of The North!
Seriously. WTAF. These Yellow and Amber Weather Warnings are becoming absurd and extremely tedious now. Every day, it seems, the Met Office issues another yellow or amber warning and a ridiculous map to go with it. Just bloody well leave us alone and let us enjoy or endure winter! You’ve already tried your best to spoil any enjoyment of summer now with your incessant ‘heat health warnings’ every time the sun dares to show its face in June, July or August. You ruined Hogmanay for thousands because it was a bit wet and windy. Just bugger off and leave us alone!
Here’s the BBC version:
Hang on a minute. We’re being warned about hazardous icy patches on roads, pavements and cycle paths within an area which covers a huge swathe of the Irish Sea and north Atlantic! Perhaps the Met Office and BBC are concerned for the safety of people jogging, cycling or walking around the decks of cruise ships and commercial tankers! Yes, that must be it. Can’t imagine there would be any icy patches on open stretches of our coastal waters where peds and cyclists might come a cropper!
But looking at the Met Office graphic reminds me of this:
Beware! It’s wintertime and the Wicked Yellow Warning Witch of the North has arrived!
I must have missed the Wicked Witch of the North whilst out walking today and there was no sign of any yellow or amber warnings as you can see - just lovely scenery on a chilly but very pleasant winter day.
It's all down to the behavioral insights team working on behalf of the Govt. Problem is, as a nation that's obsessed with the weather, the only people that believe this rubbish are the ones that still walk around supermarkets in masks.
Not to put too fine a point on it but...
The F"@%*^g F"@%£^s can F"@%*^g well go and F"@%*^g F"@% themselves.
