I told you. At 9.30. Flight AC 866.

Hey, wait a minute!

Oh, he’s like me. But he’s taller and thinner. And his hair’s much darker. Anyway, don’t worry. I’ll be back in a minute.

Part 2--Passages
Passage 1:
The Weather Forecast
It’s five to nine and here is the weather forecast for the British Isles until midnight.
For all areas east of London and as far north as the Wash it will be dry with a few patches of hazy sunshine along the coastal regions. Inland the winds will drop, and temperatures should rise to 20°C although there is little chance of the sun breaking through.
Along the south coast the day will start clear and bright, with temperatures climbing to 25°C by midday. However, by late afternoon, clouds will appear from the southwest bringing the possibility of some humidity.
In western region, covering Wales and southwest england as far as Bristol, heavy rain has already set in, and in England it is expected to continue for the rest of the day, with temperatures only reaching 17 or 18 degrees.
The worst of the rain should have cleared Pembroke and west Wales by mid-afternoon and occasional breaks in the cloud may lift the temperatures to 19, but further north, more rain blowing across the Irish sea, with high winds, will keep the temperature down to 15 or 16 degrees; low for this time of the year.
Finally, for the rest of England and Scotland, the weather will be changeable; with rain from the west clearing by mid-morning, and then brighter periods with scattered showers will cover most of the Midlands and Scotland. The winds will be fresh from the northwest becoming chilly in the north of Scotland. As night falls, fog will roll in from the North Sea and most of the northeast Scottish coast will have restricted visibility. Temperatures will decrease rapidly in the evening, in some places in the extreme north falling to 7 degrees. That is the end of thee weather forecast, and the shipping forecast will follow shortly.
