THE BBC WEATHER CENTRE - COAST AND SEA - SHIPPING FORECAST
THE SHIPPING FORECAST IS SOMETHING PROBABLY RECOGNISED BY EVERY PERSON IN ENGLAND. IT LINKS INTERESTINGLY INTO THE IDEA TALKED ABOUT BY KATE FOX IN 'WATCHING THE ENGLISH' CALLED 'ENGLSIH WEATHER TALK'. WHERE PEOPLE USE THE WEATHER AS A FORM OF GREETING AND ICE BREAKING. ONCE YOU START LISTENING TO CONVERSATIONS YOU START TO REALISE HOW MUCH WE RELY ON THE WEATHER AS A CONVERSATIONAL PROP.
