Reference :- Witty weatherman Rowan Dean has overlooked a few fires in the northern hemisphere .

Reference :-   It seems that even France is experiencing severe wildfires at present .

Rowan , you seem to have overlooked  the wildfires currently raging in the northern hemisphere. 

Thousands of folk have had to evacuate assorted regions due to uncontrollable infernos .   I figure you may be reluctant to highlight these fires in your state of the art weather reports , fearing  that woke latte sipping virtue signalling leftists ( the worst kind of leftist )  might call them "unprecedented ".

Well Rowan , the Sky Reply is here to help you with that dilemma .   My sadly missed late uncle Bartholomew ( we liked to call him "Biggles " )   used to tell us stories about the terrible fires that  swept Europe decades ago .  So you could hardly call the current  conflagrations  unprecedented . 

Uncle Biggles used to fly an aircraft called a Lockheed P-38 Lightning all over Europe in his youth , so he could snap  photos of the countryside . Mostly roads , railway lines and bridges apparently .   He used to tell us that half of Europe looked to be on fire back in 1944.   Especially the cities .    

So Rowan , I reckon you should just come clean and report the current fires so you don't look shifty .  We can post you copies of a few photos that uncle Biggles took back in 1944 if you like . They will certainly prove that fires have always been a normal thing in Europe .  You should see the ones of Dresden , talk about a fireman's nightmare .   I guess that's what happens if you let the greenies stop load reduction burns , you can lose an entire bloody city .

Let us know if you do need copies of a few of uncle Biggles'  old photos to make your case , and we can forward a selection of his best .  

You can have them gratis , although it would be nice if you could give due credit to uncle Biggles in some way .  And a donation to the Kooralya RSL club would be well received . Ken junior hangs wooden plaques on the walls of the bar , thanking the more generous donors , and we could put yours right beside the one we put up years ago thanking Gough Whitlam . 

 Gough was especially generous with his donation , since I hear he was pretty cashed up at the time .

Your comrade , Ken
