Why not drop the freak and just call it weather sorted.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Ice cream sellers will benefit

It doesn't help to use words like 'freak weather' as if it was a big mystery. The climate is changing because of our actions. February temperatures off the scale are therefore no surprise, though the process of warming seems to be happening even faster than expected.

Nooooo Brexit will Come on stay on message

Do other countries have same issues between businesses and freak weather?

Good!

I knew there was a reason to worry about climate change!

30,000 scientists say 'Man-Made Global Warming' is a complete hoax. Retired senior NASA atmospheric scientist John L. Casey revealed that solar cycles are responsible for warming periods on Earth - not human activity. Say 'climate change' its less of a lie

Makes a change from blaming it on Brexit

Ffs 🙄

Are your experts focused on a certain location? Or is the WHOLE PLANET doomed? Gulp..It was 70 on my birthday once - Dec baby - had a campfire! In Chicago it's been a COLD winter this year. But no big deal.. pretty normal. Um.. should we be afraid? Does it help if we're afraid?

Bloody brexit

Then the management of these firms are negligent? They live here, they know what the weather's like so deal with it. My 7 yr old could have told them this, so how much did the 'experts' charge for this gem?

Surely you can spin it to blame Brexit BBC?

It's either Brexit or the weather

They're probably a little bit more concerned about the clusterf*ck that is Brexit right now.

Fucking hell...can't enjoy anything
