Thanks Jon.

First impressions are I think important if this is to gain widespread
use and acceptance. My first impressions a

C = the best combination of usefulness and simplicity.

A = the easiest to understand (for simple minds!)

Unfortunately, the question I answered in C wasn't asked so I had to

The Met Office needs to bear in mind who is most likely to use these 5
