How to tell the weather

    In October 2006 the travellers on a halting Site asked their new Clan
    Leader if the coming winter was going to be cold or mild? Since he had
    never been taught the ancient and mystical ways of the travellers from
    times past - when he looked at the sky and all around for signs he
    couldn't realy tell what the winter was going to be like.


    Nevertheless, to be on the safe side he told his clan that the winter
    was indeed going to be cold and that the halting site should collect
    firewood to be prepared. But being a practical leader, after several
    days he got an idea. He went to the phone box, called the Met Office and
    asked, "Is da comin' wintur goin' to be cold?"


    "It looks like this winter may be quite cold," the meteorologist at the
    weather service responded. So the Leader went back to his people and
    told them to collect even more firewood in order to be prepared.


    A week later he called the Met Office again. "Does it still look like
    it's goin' to be a very cold wintur?" "Yes," the man at Met Office again
    replied, "it's now looking like it's going to be a very cold winter."


    The Leader again went back to his clan and ordered them to continue to
    collect every scrap of firewood they could find. Two weeks later the
    Leader called the Met Office again. "Are ya absolutely sure that the
    wintur is goin' to be very cold?"


    "Absolutely," the man replied. "It's looking more and more like it is
    going to be one of the coldest winters ever."
    "How can ya tell that?" the Leader asked.
    The weatherman replied, "The knackers are collecting firewood like
    crazy."
