Oh no - they're the bunch of muppets who came up with the derisible
Weatherscape XT, the 1998-era graphics engine that powers the BBC's "turd
brown" forecasts. Words cannot express how much I loathe that graphics
package, which compared to the old "Weather 2000" symbol maps is a world
away. Just looking at the low-res, ill-defined mush after 36 hours makes the
whole thing a mockery.

The BBC forked out large amounts of money for that waste-of-space graphics
system and thus (having been a soft target) I'm not surprised the owners of
that system are pushing for even more of the Beeb's money.

Costs to a public company that still haven't been disclosed.

I wouldn't trust them with your bargepole. If I had to touch them with
mine, I'd burn it.
