If we believe the BBC forecast, there s not a chance of a white Christmas. It s mild and very wet all the way to Yule. Which presumably means some poor devils will be flooded out for Christmas. Unless, of course, all those amazing flood-control schemes we were solemnly promised in the last inundation are up and working.
BBC News took us to the home of Rory Cellan Jones where the Beeb s technology expert was reporting while in lockdown. It looked strangely familiar. Obviously, anyone being interviewed on the telly wants to be seen against the best background. And the look for 2020, seen in house after house, seems to be classical painted wood bookshelves (none of your cheap flatpack stuff), adorned with a selection of Significant Books and one or two arty vases or sculptures.
