The Met Office this morning issued a severe weather warning across the UK.
Veteran weather man Michael Fish warned that if the government and people of the UK don't haul themselves up by their bootstraps and haul ourselves out of recession then the met office would unleash some pretty severe weather over the nation to shake us all up.
When asked what kind of weather they were thinking about inflicting on us, John Ketley said that several options were under consideration.
At which point, veteran weather 'girl' Wincey Willis mentioined, hurricanes, gale force winds, snow, ice, thick fog, torrential rain, hailstones as big as tennis balls and possibly even a plague of frogs.
Michael Fish brought the address to a close with an ominous four word statement:
'You have been warned.'
