Of course the BBC will pander to the Scottish mafia, but never to the
educated minority (as such is their perception).

As a Scot, not a member of any mafia, and an educated person, I have to
ask whether you intended that comment to be as offensive as it seems to
be?

No Anne, just a reflection of the perception, often felt down south, that
the Scots wield rather more political influence in the UK than their
population warrants:-) It will be interesting to see however if the only
change made by the BBC is as a result of this pressure and not equally valid
objections raised against other aspects of the new forecasts.
