I don't know about you, Tudor, but I recall that the weather basics,
including a vertical cross-section of a depression, formed part of the
geography O-Level.


Martin, I sat my GCEs in the penultimate year that they were used prior
to GCSE taking over (1986) and our syllabus definitely included weather
basics. As I recall, the exam had a forecasting question included.
Unfortunately, my school stopped offering GCE meteorology as a
'lunchtime extra' the year before I started the GCE build-up, so I
missed out on that.
