Who would call their dog Cromarty and why? the British of course and 'why not?' Even odder sounding names have a strange sense of comfort to the Brits. Being an island race as we are we love to be comforted by thr reassuring tones of the Shipping Forecast or as the poet Sean street called it 'the cold poetry of information'.
So, sit back, relax with your evening cocoa and batten down the hatches. Switch your mental radio on and enjoy the soothing sounds of:
Viking, North Utsire, South Utsire, fisher, dogger, german Bight, westerly or south westerly three or four, increasing five in north later. Rain later. Good becoming moderate, occasionally poor. Faroes, fair isle, Cromarty, Forties, forth. Northerly backing westerly three or four, increasing six later. Showers. Good.
