No wonder northerners react against it!

Hear, hear.

Presenters on national broadcast networks should not be making
comment about any conditions local to them. Local conditions should
be kept for the local/regional opt outs or stations.

I and the vast majority outside the SE have no interest what so ever
in knowing that it was raining during the rush hour in the SE. Do
they mention when it rains in Manchester or Birmingham? No, so why
mention it for London?

Conditions that may have knock on effects to people outside of the
local/regional coverage areas should be mentioned on the national
networks. Like when they can't cope with a few inches of snow and
have to close Heathrow for a couple of days...
