Btw, who had the idea of naming them? Somehow it makes them seem
worse.

They were named after a public comp. We get a male and then a female
name alternatively. It was said on radio 4 this week that the female

naming theirs for years) but that comment did come from a man!

Abigail (a big gale) was particularly appropriate, but the rest aren't
with the possible exception of Wendy (~windy?), if we ever get that
far down the list.
