Why have we started naming storms?

I'm guessing they are easier to refer to rather than the storm on.. Which people wouldn't necessary remember so easily, it also gives something to blame...now look what you've done Frank!

So we can better fear communally.

It will also, in the likelihood of more extreme weather events in the future, serve as an interesting point of reference - eg 'Nigel was bad, but he couldn't hold a candle to Gertrude', that sort of thing.

Passes the time.

When the first one was named the Met office announced it was to raise public awareness and thus hopefully ensure people were prepared and kept safe.
Alternatively, quick scroll through your Facebook feed would do the trick - slightest extreme of weather always results in a long stream of weather related statuses.

Why can you buy prune juice, but not plum juice, when a prune is supposed to be a dried plum?

Why no raisin, currant or sultana juice?

Yes :( I've emailed them now as I can't even get into their web-site - they say I'm not a customer! (where the hecks my money been going every month)?
