Default Man buys weather station; gets national news coverage

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...et-Office.html

Am I missing something here? This man has bought a Davis Vantage Pro and is
using "Weather Underground" software, as are many other people in the UK,
yet this appears to qualify him for a piece in the Daily Mail, and five
minutes on Radio 5's evening news programme (at about 6.50 if anyone can be
bothered to Listen Again).

Looking at his site ( http://www.dugglenet.org/ ) I can't even see the
forecast which is apparently far more accurate than the Met Office's.

What depressed me the most were Joe Public's comments below the article.
The more outrageous they were, the more "votes" they got from fellow Daily
Mail readers.
