On the naming of storms
Does anyone else in the UK feel that giving "storms" (hah!) names is rather pathetic? Not to mention a little insulting for those who live in genuine storm areas.
I used to live in the Outer Hebrides: "Abigail" (spit) barely ruffled one's hair. The latest one, which might blow some leaves around, is being called "Barney".
Mind you, when we had "Bawbag" a while back, it at least raised a laugh (try it with a Scottish accent).
