'We play Rock, Paper, Scissors!' admits BBC weather man.

Yesterday, a 'devastating' fact was exposed that could shock 'weather enthusiasts': the weather men at the BBC use a children's 'guessing game' to make important decisions about the weather.

Steve Pain, chief of all things weather at the BBC, made the serious leak when giving a presentation about the high- tec weather equipment to a group of students on work experience. Mr Pain didn't realise his microphone wasn't turned off when he spoke to his secretary standing next to him 'this is a doss!' he was heard saying. 'Tell Geoff from I.T that it's his turn to play Rock, Paper, Scissors!'

According to our unnamed source, before the BBC broadcast their weather programme, Mr Pain plays rock, paper, scissors with the caretaker, the window cleaner, even the canteen staff. Each side will hazard a guess as to what the weather might do and then they play. Whoever wins then has their weather prediction broadcast to the British public.

The Big Pickle News can exclusively reveal that the queen was so 'enraged' by this scandal that she couldn't 'bring herself to drink her tea.' This is serious. Updates will be coming soon.
