(It was warning passing motorists not to run over the red squirrels.) I went into the shouting at the screen red button option and asked him to concentrate and give me the sodding weather forecast. </p> http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=55007#post-158996 Sun, 20 Jan 2013 15:43:11 +0000 The All New Jeni B 158996@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ <p>It's snow.
