And I scratched my left gonad at about 7.47pm.
I mean why do you post such crap ?
Who really cares ?
Wouldn't you be better employed re-arranging your stamp collection ?
At least post something controversial,something witty,anything .
God I'm bored.

But what prompted me to post was... Has anyone else noticed that Robin the weather presenter is now Robin Mccallum? Instead of Robin Lermitte???


Yeah, I've noticed that too? How very strange? Probably for Tax reasons!

If you have a civil partnership with someone, you can change your surname to be the same as your partners, But If you are getting married I thought it was always the Woman who changed her name? Or do men do it too??

An anonymous member of Wikipedia entered the following into Robin's article:


Wikipedia posted:
Robin was registered with the actors union, Equity but due to there already being a Robin McCallum registered he chose the surname Lermitte. In 2007 he reverted to using his real surname - McCallum after his equity membership expired.

As others have posted - it may simply be he has reverted to his real name rather than continuing under his stagename. However it is not unheard of for a husband to take his wife's surname in this day and age. Is there any real reason why this shouldn't be the case - other than convention?

Very odd sound problems with a pre-recorded football item with Ned Boulting - audio from what sounded like a cartoon or movie, then part of a Robin McCallum weather forecast

I'm shocked that they have those sports bits as the coverage of sport on LT in general is poor unless a London side is in a Champions League match that ITV1 is covering.

The likes of Central have a sports correspondent, so why not London?
