This week a BBC autocue reader called sally nugent , 51, referred to the dambusters ‘ raid as ‘infamous ‘. Someone in the BBC looked up World War 2 and discovered that something called the RAF helped save Britain – therefore they issued a limited apology – with miss nugent keeping her job . 53 RAF lost their lives on that infamous attack on Nazi Germany – with 8 infamous aircraft lost – not something the infamous BBC cares too much about these days – right Sally ? Dear reader Are you still paying her infamous wages ?

UK weather: Scorching 28C heat to return after Storm Antoni downpours
The UK will finally enjoy summer heat this week with temperatures reaching 28C in parts if the country.
It marks a dramatic turnaround to this weekend, when Storm Antoni brought heavy downpours, flooding and 78mph winds to much of Britain.
The Met Office forecast is that by Wednesday, temperatures may reach highs of 25C and then rise again to 28C by Thursday.
But meteorologist Simon Partridge warns the warm weather will be short-lived as rain is expected to return by Friday.

LETTER
“Gardeners World was pretty much the last BBC programme I stuck with. But I’ve even finally ditched this one. Every episode bangs on about the fateful climate change and how all Monty’s plants are going to die as Herefordshire turns into the Gobi Desert. In the middle of a cold, wet summer it is irritatingly ridiculous frankly. What with that and the incessant assumption we are all in appalling mental health and the daffodils are therapy and not just Easter prettiness. It’s classic BBC lecturing and talking down to its audience…”

I am tendering my resignation because for some time past I have been conscious that I was wasting my own time and the public money on doing work that produces no result.

Unintended humour was provided last night when Monty Don portentously revealed: ‘We are told not to refer to global warming anymore but to climate change instead’.
