Lawrence , you should expect it. The BBC are a different ball game now.
And
a bad one at that in my opinion.
Thank god for SKY. Gimme some Americanisation anyday to break free the BBC
'Chains' that want to preserve all that is bad about this country.

Well those independent channels were always a joke but the BBC weather
programme has become the Italia Conti school of all round entertainers.
Helen Young writing childrens books, Louise Lear presenting make over
programmes, Dan Corbet appearing in 'Jack and the Beanstalk' as the rear
end of the cow with the main part of the cow being played by Carol
Driftwood.

Whatever next? Everton Fox in 'Guys & Dolls, Darren Betts 'Seven
forecasters
for seven outlooks' and possibly Philip Avery in La Cage aux Folles ?






No Danny I'm going to their web pages and clicking on

Health and Culture.

I never realised weather had a "culture" I thought it help shape culture.
However they have an article on how the Aborigines have accumulated 18,000
generations of Weather experience. In fact they are so in touch with nature
and advanced in meteorology that they actually launched the first boomerang
weather satellite from woolagong in 1066 which coincides with the Norman
invasion -spooky eh.
