I think you are right. It was his perceived arrogance at the dismissal
of the 'woman from Wales' who was probably genuinely worried about
what she thought might be heading our way, that caused the main media
backlash. His idea that there should always be some kind of 'tease' at
the start of a broadcast, in order to lead into the main headline is
fine, but it should not be at the expense of a member of the public.


Give over,

We'll have the woman from Wales claiming compo next.

If he had named her and shamed her that would be different.

Though it was a major cock up, we should remember that even in Fishy's day,
they were first and foremost presenters. If the latest output from the MetO
had been indicating something so nasty was on the horizon I'm sure they
would have given it a slot in the news bulletin and followed with an
extended forecast slot.

Why does old Fishy get it in the neck when the MetO failed?
