No I get more annoyed that they always stand in front of Wales whilst reading the UK forecast. Also hate their tendency to be more specific about what the weather on London and the SE will be than anywhere else.

Thank you, I thought it was my head falling off or something. wtf? Is she leaning against a 45% angle door?

Wincy Willis never leaned.

FreshLeticia · 28/02/2013 19:05

you and me both Callofthefishwife
Every time! WTF!
Get your bloody elbow off of Wales!

LynetteScavo · 28/02/2013 19:06

No, I get annoyed when they turn sideways and it becomes apparent they are 8 months pregnant and are covering the whole of wales, and the west midlands with their bump.

Just asked DH as he always watches ITV news and weather. He said he doesn't mind as it means she sticks her boobs out Shock.
He has just told me he follows her on Twitter!

AlisonMoyet · 28/02/2013 19:07

WEATHER GIRL?? Wtf. She's a woman.

AlisonMoyet · 28/02/2013 19:08

Or a presenter. Or even a meteorologist.

Where are the weather boys?!

ssd · 28/02/2013 19:10

oh get a grip Alison

I didn't even notice she covers Wales, I just see her leaning way back and wonder whats wrong with her

Oh, we have a weather boy on central news. He's at least 30, but he's definitely a boy.

He's very charming, and funny, but I wouldn't marry him.

ssd · 28/02/2013 19:18

we've got Sean Batty and he sure wouldn't marry you Grin

They're not meteorologists on itv though are they?

AlisonMoyet · 28/02/2013 19:25

Irrelevant. They're certainly not girls.

I do wonder what it is with weather 'girls' i know blokes who follow them on fb. I find that weird.

LynetteScavo · 28/02/2013 19:50

well, it's kinda mutual with Sean Batty and me (have Googled). Grin

And I will forever be a girl.

Yes its an annoying. And looks so uncomfortable! Poor woman is going to end up with awful back problems.

AIBU to think that weather girls female weather reporters (?)
seem to always be pregnant. Or maybe its just more noticeable to people living in the west.

Callofthefishwife · 28/02/2013 20:27

Someone my DH works with collects weather girl signed photos and has some kind of weird weather girl shrine!!!

They take the piss out of him DH says!

AnyFucker · 28/02/2013 20:31

DH and I laugh at this freakily bendy lady every time she comes on, and she goes nearly right angled in the wrong direction

That's gotta hurt

She is very pretty though...very shiny hair

QueenMaeve · 28/02/2013 20:32

Yes! Dh shakes his head every time and warns she is going to end up with a curvature in her spine or worse! We call her bendy woman

OhYouBadBadKitten · 28/02/2013 20:33

I don't think the itv ones are meteorologists. They do seem to have a high incidence of pregnancy.

Mrsrobertduvall · 28/02/2013 20:41

You can't beat Carol on the BBC morning show.
I love the way she calls Bill Turnbull "Billy"

LynetteScavo · 28/02/2013 20:47

Hahahah @ OhYouBadBadKitten - Don't meteorologists get pregnant often? Grin

Naysa · 28/02/2013 21:00

Alison dear this is MN not twitter. It's not cool to hash tag anywhere other than twitter.

FruOla · 01/03/2013 08:59

I haven't noticed bendy weather girl/woman, but what is it with the way some of them speak?

I can't help the feeling that there's a Weather Presenter Elocution College somewhere - all those exaggerated words in the wrong place and all those exaggerated pauses in the middle ............. of what they're saying. Confused

ssd · 01/03/2013 09:01

yes the bendy girl is very pretty, lovely hair and skin

still way too bendy though
