Just watched the 1330 national forecast right through. It has been quite windy
this morning here in the SW and I was wondering if it would die down this
afternoon (I know really but you see what I mean !).
Not one mention of wind throughout the entire forecast, the only clue was the
mention of blustery showers. Come on BBC don't be shy :-)
Then later we had David Braine he did show the paper aeroplanes and mentioned
gales tomorrow, but if he had not mentioned gales the paper aeroplanes would
not
have indicated that. I consider this a very serious issue now if potential
gales
either do not get mentioned or are not shown properly on a forecast.
How much did the BBC pay for this package? £1 million quid :-O I would have
thought that for that price we could have better graphics for wind than paper
aeroplanes.

Full marks to the Met Office presenters again though, keeping smiling.

1830 National forecast.

No mention whatsoever of any wind. No graphics, no words, nothing.

How on earth can anyone take a decision on our behalf that the wind is not
important ?
Mr BBC *WIND IS IMPORTANT* believe me.
They have wind on ITV, I'm told they have wind on SKY so what makes the BBC
special ?
