What BBN said about it

  1. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorFolks in Wellingborough and Rushden in England are being asked what they think about higher car parking fees, and the BBC says the consultation is open now.

  2. Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistA consultation. So they ask you first, and then they charge you anyway.

  3. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorThat's the spirit, Brock, and I'd say a form is the friendliest traffic jam there is.

  4. Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistNow your forecast.

  5. Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistNew York is fifty-seven and cloudy with an eighteen kilometer wind, Chicago is sixty-three and cloudy, and Los Angeles is sixty-one and cloudy today.

  6. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorThree cloudy cities.

  7. Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistTomorrow Chicago has a twenty-three percent chance of rain, so pack a windbreaker.

  8. Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistMy pet peeve is the driver who brakes for a cloud, and I give today six honks out of ten.

  9. Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorMy pet peeve is the consultant who asks for your feedback and then ignores it. I'm going with seven honks.
