I do appreciate that your moan is a justified one about the BBC, but
just in case you or anyone else doesn't know, sea temperatures are
available from:

http://image.weather.com/web/maps/en...rr_720x486.jpg

and

http://weather.noaa.gov/pub/fax/PTUK21.TIF

this latter needing an external viewer which doubtless you will
already have



Yep, though Firefox at least seems to have TIF viewing capabilities
built-in from the start, so it's not a problem anyway. As you suspect,
it's not a complete lack of data that annoys me, but the poor
response (in more than one sense) of the BBC to what are seemingly
very simple problems. I'm frankly nothing short of astonished that
the "wrong font" problem has been allowed to persist so long.
