Dave, I've given up with TV weather forecasts almost completely, unless I
see them by accident. Almost because I still think the Regional ones are
still useful, like David Braine who is superb IMO. Don't watch them is my
advice and tell the BBC/ITV/SKY why you've stopped watching them. I tell
everyone I meet now to use the InterNet if they can for weather
information.


Radio forecasts are also pretty appalling. The other day, Susan Powell
warned of the weather "reaching a crescendo at the end of the week". Every
day, no matter who it is, they have to insert "its way" or "their way"
after every verb of movement.
