And pick out the errors in this: Spring is here as sunny weather sweeps Britain - quite apart from the fact it's overcast today ...

As indeed they do. I have no idea where they get the idea this 'heatwave' will last till Easter, either. It does look like being a mostly dry and settled month down here though - not good for the water table.
