A childhood belief about weather

when i was little my mum was always saying every time there was a black sky "Ooh, look, it's black over Bill's mothers". The trouble was that my Grandad's name was Bill and I can remember once coming back from holiday on the motorway and my Mum said it again as there was a massive grey thunder-cloud in the sky. I remember thinking "God, where ever we are, she always seems to know what direction Grandad's mum's house is in!" Then one day me and my Mum and Dad were driving along in the car again and the radio presenter said "and here is todays weather, ooh, it looks a bit black over bill's mothers" i was well shocked and i thought "how does he know grandad?!"
