OK - if you've never sent in a Weather Request Form, then how can you complain if you get weather you don't like? We don't employ any mind readers at WARBLE you know :-) Anyway, whoever's Weather Request Form it was (and their name does look suspiciously like yours), the handwriting was terrible....
