Clearly the site has done for your brain and I'm going to make

... LOL! (And I *think* that means 'Laugh out loud' - though the PM
thinks it means something else).

It shows a difference in experience and path through life Tudor. I've
always thought that a 'dogs breakfast' was the result of feeding the
aforesaid doggy something that didn't agree with it ... then it promptly
presented it on the living room carpet! Hence 'serving up' a dogs
breakfast. When we had a dog, many years ago, it ate what we ate - and
had its breakfast first! No 'mess' either before or afterwards!

Otherwise, I agree with the above: and for information, I happen to know
that the MO web team are patting themselves on the back all round at the
jolly good job they've done .... so it must be our fault ....

I have a feeling we here on usw are not viewed by UKMO as the target
audience for their website.
We know too much and are not Jo Public.
With an above average interest in the weather we are just considered
as anoraks.

I think the rubbish animation capabilty of the new website will not
endear it even to Jo Public.
Fancy just showing a load of jerks.
