When is eating stealing? Aldren Tomlinson's recent breakfast is picked over.

Aldren Tomlinson was reinstated after pinching an egg breakfast. Or did he pinch it? Maybe he borrowed it? The two weathermen tried to hear each other properly.

Weatherman  1 : That hospital porter got his job back. 

Weatherman  2 : It was only a bit of breakfast. The GMB union came to the rescue. They were about to ballot their hospital members and the hospital would probably have shut down. 

when is a vote not a vote? And what is a referendum?

  

The issue of when a vote isn’t a vote interested the two weathermen.

 Weatherman  1 : So are we in or out of Europe?

Weatherman  2 :  We’re going to think about it.

How a slow motion video can change our perception of events...

A US study has noticed that juries are more likely to convict a defendant if video evidence is shown in slow motion. The two weathermen applied the brakes.

Weatherman 2: I read that if you see a video of crime in slow motion, you are more likely to think the burglar or murderer was guilty, than if you see it at normal speed. It seems that if I watch you in slow motion doing something, it can look like there was more intent, and intention is an important factor in determining guilt.

Weatherman 1: Astonishing. Don’t the jury realise it is slow motion?   

Panting police officers - is it a problem?

Nearly 2000 Police officers in the UK failed their fitness test in 12 months. The two weathermen did a few press-ups.

Weatherman 1 : Did you read that the Police aren’t very fit?

Weatherman 2 : My wife assures me the local coppers are very fit – but I don’t think she is referring to their athleticism.

The office of the future - is it a place for work or play?

Since technology is allowing workforces to be more flexible where they work, companies are making offices better places to be, so that staff do actually turn up.  The two weathermen erected some goalposts and kicked a football around the office.

Weatherman 1 : I read that Google have installed a slide in their canteen so that staff can play games in their tea breaks.

Weatherman 2 : I understand that employers want to keep their staff engaged with them – it’s harder to be engaged when you are not physically present.

Is being fat pejorative? Cherchez la Femme think not.

Facebook got into trouble when it stopped an image of an over sized model from being used as an advert for Cherchez la Femme. The two weathermen pinched some cellulite.

Weatherman 1 : Did you read that Cherchez la Femme were upset when Facebook prohibited one of their posts being used as an advert? It featured  a generous woman in a bikini.

Weatherman 2 : Was she giving away ice creams?

BHS is finally selling something - itself

British Home Stores may be in administration, but lots of people want to buy it. The two weathermen went to the home furnishings department.

Weatherman 1 : I read the BHS is more popular than ever. People queuing up to buy it.

Weatherman 2 : Like who? Who wants to buy a failing business?
