And it's not just about gales: I've seen it suggested that winds are
somehow of little interest to Joe Public but I don't think that's
right. Looking outside now, here, the most noticeable thing is how
breezy it is. snip
For example, I'd be loathe to show the wind arrow
diagrams onscreen until I'd found a way to stop them looking silly -
which is how they look to me at the moment. Francis's wind arrows on
Sky News are about 10 times bigger and inspite of having only two or
three wind "streams" over the UK, they give much more useful
information, easy to absorb, than the BBC's wriggling tiddlers.

... this was one of the facets I complained about in my submission to
the BBC; in fact, the *previous* wind-flow output was quite adequate and
gave a useful indication (coupled with voice-over) of the change in the
wind field during the forecast period.

Of all the aspects of the changes, I can't understand how this one has
slipped through; *if* it is based on NZ experience, I know for a fact
that they are just as interested in such data as we are - so I suspect
that someone made a decision based on little or no knowledge, and is now
desperately digging their heels in (if still in post) to deny us the
information.

Martin re-read my post about focus groups, and the desperate need for projects
to complete on time and within budget and you will soon understand why "things
slip through". IMO FWIW nowadays, this project should have been spread over
THREE YEARS to test things out and get it right BEFORE LAUNCH. People are far
too impatient for change nowadays.
