... in being annoyed by grinning news readers and weather girls?

What really annoys me [grumpy OW emo] is when the weather is on a HUGE map, and they stride up and down in their skin tight (usually ghastly) dress and great clumpy high heels!

I think Sky news is the worst offender.

Goodness, I feel better for that!

Good idea FlicketyB.
Actually, I already do that - radio 4 over breakfast every morning (blimey, I really must be getting old!). However, DH is a TV addict and the box is on continuously from about 5pm - sometimes earlier - till bedtime. That means that even if I'm doing something else at the same time, I can't escape the infuriating presenters. Often, it is their artificial girlie way of talking that draws my attention to the TV. Grrrrr

If you listen to the news and weather on the radio instead you can concentrate on what is being said without being distracted by the person saying the words.

Nightowl , you ^ do ^ realise the expression " tightly wrapped" , can mean a bit uptight or little loopy ?
That is not what you meant , I know .

And do they all wear those non-supporting elastic bras?

Everyone seems to be 'tightly wrapped' these days Allie. When did it become fashionable to wear clothes two sizes too small?

I thought it was just me that couldn't tell them apart, AlieOxon

Why can't I tell any of the weather women from each other? They all seem to be tightly wrapped, low bosomed and with the same hair.....

When they all got their teeth whitened and even the men started dyeing their hair....

I remember when they used to read the news with a very neutral expression, and tone of voice. When did it change?!
