I agree Martin. Especially as the Met Office issued a 30% chance of
exceptionally severe weather this morning. Those sorts of warnings are not
common. Kent and East Anglia could be submerged in snow by Thursday giving a
potential *dangerous* situation.

With the change to a notable wintry type expected (whether snow-laden or
not, a significant change), I was listening to Radio 5 this morning with
more than usual interest for Bob Prichard's assessment (I assume it was
Bob - have yet to hear him this morning).
Instead, we got 'wall-to-wall' tennis: yet again, Tim Henman being
knocked out of a major competition.
I appreciate that this event was of some interest, but surely 4 or 5
minutes at the start of each set could have been allowed for a main news
and weather update; I think the decision to only broadcast tennis on
what is after all a news, information AND general sport channel was
poor. After all, the precedent that not *every* ball needs to be
discussed has already been set on the sister station: Radio 4, where the
commentary is not re-joined on Long-Wave until the Shipping Forecast is
finished.
(I have e-mailed direct to Radio 5 and to 'Feedback' this criticism).
Martin.
