Spectating the Spectator

In the week's Spectator magazine (dated 5 Sep 2015), The Schaf gets a worthy name-check.

On Page 11,  Tristam Hunt MP {i} is writing for this edition's Diary section. He comments on the summer's weather:

"Our companion is all this has been the Met Office, whose forecasts are dashingly presented by the hunky Tomasz Schafernaker".

Nice to know our Tomasz has fans in corridors of power. I can now just imagine his name coming up in PMQ, should the provision of the BBCs weather forecasting be discussed. What would Andrew Neil make of that, one wonders.

Though of course Tomasz is assisted by one or two other people in the BBC forecasting stakes: Speaking of which-- best of luck to Carol Kirkwood (should that "Shmirkwood"?) in Strictly Come Dancing {ii}. For she is one this year's constestants; as you've probably heard, unless you've been stuck down a Chilean mine-shaft for the past month.

{i} Honourable member for Stoke-on-Trent Central, in case you were wondering.
{ii} Or if you're Tess Daly-- "Strikleh".
