I've said this before but I'm gonna say it again

Remember when Fred The Weatherman used to present the weather on a floating representation of the UK as seen here:

Well imagine if he did an international version. They have the whole world floating around and when he wants to go to somewhere like North America he has to swim there. The crowd start cheering him on when he's halfway there but due to exhaustion he has a tendency to switch from front-crawl to backstroke.

He sets off from southern Indonesia to do Australia's weather at the end and usually opts for breast-stroke which serves as his warm-down. Fred cracks a joke then it's back to Richard and Judy in the studio and Richard says "Don't you just love it."
