Default Spring Equinox

Was very disappointed in the BBC presenter yesterday (21st) who
a) seemed to think it was the spring equinox, and
b) seemed to think that this conferred the title "Official First Day
of Spring" on the date.

I know a few people like to think that spring begins at the vernal
equinox even though this is merely an astronomic artefact; many
disagree. Whatever, it ain't official. No way.
