Well its finally happened Michael "Hurricane" Fish is retiring from the world of meterology, so the accuracy of British forecasts should rise considerably

Wohooo, cant wait!  

I remember that October very well!! 88 wasn't it?

Was he like the ex-secretary of information from Iraq?

"The Americans will be thrown out of the country!"
-> "We'll be having sunny weather for all the week!"

'87, and the immortal "A woman rang the BBC earlier from the south coast and asked if there will be a hurricane tonight. No!"
Yes Bj

Ah knew it was around that year.  They show his weather forcast everynow and then when he said it was gonna be a nice night and no chance of the hurricane!

He is never gonna live it down  ;D I bet he gets ribbed a bit when he re-appears!

Not before time. IMHO He won't be missed. I was never too confident of their predictions but thanks to this idiot I never trusted any weather forecast again.

It never seemed to bother him. He must have a skin like a rhino. I never knew how he had the brass neck not to resign on the spot after making fun of the woman who rang up that evening. Believe it or not he was promoted to head of the BBC meteorology section soon afterwards.

Did his last post 1800 (six o'clock) news slot last night - ah well, i'm sure there are lots of other young wannabe Fishes out there...
