Don't you know that all possible forecasts are put into a barrel, 3 whiskies are drunk then a forecast drawn from the barrel for broadcast? ::)

You need a potting shed, Mark. Perhaps for your birthday, but only if it's a biggie - birthday, that is? ::)

Mark, when I first saw this, I thought perhaps you were inspired by my wheelbarrow reuse project, and decided to make a portable bog garden of your own.
