One of my pet hates !!


 


It's been creeping into use on the various forms of media in recent years. Southampton airport tweeted about "disruption due to heavy fog" this morning.


 


Rain is heavy.


Snow is heavy


Hail is heavy.


 


Fog is not! It is thick!!


 


Or am I a lone voice??

Heavy wind is another I've heard... surely high or strong winds!?!?

It probably relates to the oppresing feeling thick fog gives.

Ms. Kirkwood on BBC Breakfast comes out with a few clunking anthropomorphisms at times. Rain "showing its hand" etc. etc.


 


However she gets a reprive for her famous ill-advised "wetter than an otter's pocket" comment a couple of years ago.

That was Alex Deakin, and he was trying to say "bucket loads of sunshine", not rain. (Or anything else!)

I hate it when people say bitterly cold when they mean 5C, plus I hate 'britian braced' nonsense that you read in the tabloids especially when it is for 'snow misery', snow misery meaning half a centimetre on the top of the car that lasts for all of 2 hours.
