Do you hate it when Google gets all cute? Shamrocks on Patrick’s day? A bit of snow in December? A dumb cupid on Valentine’s Day? This image will have greeted users of the creepy search engine this morning. It’s to celebrate the 71st anniversary of the Wizard of Oz. Hang on. Since when did we celebrate 71? What?! I mean. What?

So, why does Google do this? Knowing it annoys its reluctant users? To show the world it has a heart and not made of tin.

But Karl has seen behind the curtain and speaks of just a weird old guy pulling levers and prying into our lives. And they’re not yellow bricks. They’re gold. So ner.

Fight the power. Rastafari.

Wizard of Oz Celebrated By Google Doodle (Telegraph)

The Met say:

A mixture of bright or sunny periods and scattered showers. Cloud will begin to build during the afternoon and some showers will develop.  There will also be some good spells of sunshine breaking through the cloud. Between between 16 and 19 degrees, although it will be cooler along northern coasts.

But that’s what they always say.
