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.

Yes Graham, radio forecasts too (though you do get the occasional good
'un).

Will, my comments were of course meant to highlight the continuing
spread of 3Dgraphicitus among the National stations. As you may have
suspected, I am happy with the quality of the South Regional forecasts
(Alina Jenkins), usually complete with an Atlantic chart, isobars,
fronts and proper a wind representation. The trouible is, I often miss
that *one* early evening regional forecast and everything else on TV
is pretty poor.

I'm glad David is doing a good job down in the South West too, but
yes, I too am often forced onto the Internet to get the information I
need.

Cheers, Dave
