A Cracking Conspiracy?

Are the nation's weather presenters conspiring to pass subliminal messages to James Martin?

I tuned into the weather on London Tonight and Chrissie Reidy told the capital not once but twice that today had been a "cracking" day.

Later I'm watching BBC News 24, and Helen Willets assures the nation that tomorrow will be a "cracking" day for the football.

OK, so it could be a coincidence, you say. But they were most emphatic about it. There was something very James Martineque about the way they said it.

Is there a conspiracy? I think we should be told.

Maybe JM was giving them both a good seeing to the other night, and the famous word embedded itself into their televisual brains!

And then again, JM is a V I R G I N so the above can be discounted.

Hmm, interesting... I happened to notice Carole Kirkwood using the word 'cracking' twice this week on Breakfast.

There's definitely something going on.

I can't believe Carol has abandoned her favourite word, "georgous" fro "cracking". Or did she say it's going to be a "georgous cracking day"?

Georgous? What does that mean? George-like?
