The Comment

RIK: Ooooh! Another storm, another day of chaos. In my professional opinion, this is absolutely splendid for those who enjoy a bit of weather drama. (adjusts tie nervously)

EDDIE: Boring. Why am I even here? I've got a stapler and I'm not afraid to use it. (waves stapler menacingly)

RIK: Right! Moving on! As a cultured journalist, I think you'll find that weather events like these are quite fascinating.

EDDIE: Fascinating? More like a nuisance. Remember when Peak District Gateway Businesses struggled amid economic pressures? Now that was something. (yawns loudly)

RIK: Well, I suppose there's always a silver lining. Perhaps the Winter Garden will look quite picturesque under a blanket of snow.

EDDIE: Picturesque? I'll smash your face in with this clipboard if you keep talking like that. (hits Rik with clipboard)

RIK: (whimpers) Right! Moving on!
