Yeah, they'll be using terms like "maybe", "possibly", "perhaps", "you-never-know", "just-possibly-perhaps" and others for that more human touch. Ah - the Met Office - making an inexact "science" cr@p....  -- Chris www.ivy-house.net Swaffham, Norfolk |

... There has just been a feature on the local news about the fact that the weather symbols commonly used on the BBC forecasts are going to be replaced from this coming Monday. However they didn't tell us what they were going to be, the 'sneak preview' will apparently be tomorrow. Does anybody know anything about this?

I would be surprised if they to made more intellectual. I don't see what is wrong with the symbols anyway. They are clear, concise and unfussy. Almost 'minimalist'. They don't show the precise clothing we should be wearing for the day's weather. Perhaps the new graphics will show wellies, umbrellas, pullovers, sun glasses, etc. :-) -- Howard Neil |
