We've instead been getting forecasters from other regions, and therefore no pre-/post-forecast banter but just the pre-recorded forecast itself.
Tonight, we had ITV Cymru Wales' Ruth Dodsworth.
I think we've had certain days in the previous couple of weeks with similar relief from other regions' forecasters.
Last night, we were "treated" to Central's Des Coleman, whose hyperactive/eccentric style I find to be irritating rather than endearing. I originally hail from Central land, but thankfully it ceased being my region of residence pre-Coleman.
It's interesting to see what the stand ins are for each region, London usually uses the ones from Anglia and Meridian like Philippa Drew or Chris Page when Sally Williams is off although I would be interested to know if Sally covers those regions when they're off.
