What BBN said about it

Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorIn Britain, millions of drivers may be paying more for car insurance than newcomers, a practice called two-tier pricing, and The Independent says calls for a ban are growing.

Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistSo the longer you stay, the more they charge you. That's the most insulting thing I've heard since my last forecast review.

Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorI've gone to the same drive-through for eleven years, and they've never once raised my price for it.

Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistNow the forecast. New York starts clear at sixty-four this morning, turning cloudy tomorrow with a high of sixty-four and seven percent chance of rain.

Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistChicago is the real emergency: sixty-one and cloudy now, then rain tomorrow, a high of fifty-seven and an eighty-nine percent chance. Pack a windbreaker.

Chip Darnell · U.S. News AnchorAnd Los Angeles is clear tomorrow, ninety-three degrees, zero percent rain!

Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistRage rating, eight honks out of ten. Chicago will punish you for staying loyal to your umbrella.
