22. Peter Gibbs


I've just been watching the weather forecast when it slowly dawned on me that Peter Gibbs really needed to be included here, so here he is.

Why, though, are we so concerned with the weather forecast? What, for a vast majority of people on most days of the year, might actually change because of a weather prediction? And, of course, it is merely a prediction - it's little better than a good guess. I can guess on my own, yet all the major TV channels waste time and money on flashy graphics and separate presenters to tell us about something that they know little more than me about.

On the other hand, if it gives TV exposure to a man like Mr Gibbs, then it must be a good thing.
