Been meaning to mention this for a while. Just what is it about the BBC
weather forecasters that makes them either ignore the Midlands totally,
or only mention it as an aside?

Isn't it annoying? It's even worse on the (seemingly increasing number of)
occasions when they can't even be bothered to show a proper temperature
map, and just do that "league table" thing. Quite often this consists of
the figures for the four capital cities - London, Edinburgh, Cardiff and
Belfast - *all* of which are seaports and *none* of which are much use if
you live in, say, Stoke!
