This may be so.【31】a British cannot have much【32】in the weathermen, who, after promising fine, sunny weather for the following day, are often proved wrong【33】a cloud over the Atlantic brings rainy weather to all districts! The man in the street seems to be as accurate — or as inaccurate — as the weathermen in his【34】.

It is a safe subject which will【40】an answer from even the most reserved of the British.
