... I wonder how many have noticed the subtle change of url in the
above?


Yep the old metoffice.com lasted just 4 years, LOL !



I thought both gov.uk and com have worked the whole time?




They did but .com was the main address the old .gov was retained to stop
problems. Now the main address is .gov again !


I don't see the point in changing to a third url. I suppose the new CE
felt he had to be seen to be doing something, however pointless. Looks
like unnecessary expense to me. The policy still appears to be "if it
ain't broke, break it!"
