Do weathermen get upset when a newsreader reveals the essence of the
forecast?

Well i get annoyed when the news anchor says to Ron Bonnet (the sports guy)
"and now with news of a Record breaking 49th win for Arsenal and a win for
England in the one day series, here's the sport with Rob"

The forecasters tend to get a patronising comment that insinuates that the
weather bears a direct relation to a daily horoscope or that the only
weather that the smug newsreader is interested in is sunny, mild, warm, dry,
etc..

If the forecaster scowled more and on occassions, swore at them then maybe
they would stop "jockeying" the forecast

.... that's what I used to like about our own PE: he used to get the
Radio 5 mob to sit up straight and take it on the chin: none of the
irrelevant chit-chat that you get with the others. I realise that you
can have a more relaxed style at times, but let it get too 'loose' and
when something really important is due, it gets lost in the 'noise'.

Used to? Not *another* retirement? (!)

Hear, hear. Unfortunately, I doubt if you can get a public-facing
media job these days without passing the "idle chit-chat" test.

More likely when the newsreader totally Misinterprets the forecast and
missleads the public who then think the "weatherman/woman" got it
wrong.
