Default Met Office web site ... forcing different default on map display

The MetO have been appraised of my views,
expressed in the most gentlemanly terms. That was difficult.

I have only visited the new site in the last couple of days as I have
still been using the old (bookmarked) observations tables.

New site It is a perishing nightmare, grrr. Frustrating in the
extreme. Can't even find out yesterday's UK extremes, it insists on
providing me with "London and South East England" and invites me to
"change my location" to get some other region. I don't want some other
region, I want the bl**dy UK figures, can anyone tell mejhow, on that
new Met Office site? I also want a TABLE of all UK hourly obs from Met
Office sites, I can't get that either! And I do not want a flipping
map! At least I can turn off the back garden mapped sites of every Tom
Dick and Harry though, thank goodness for that.

And the hourly obs map and links to individual stations are an hour
behind the old site - this is utter rubbish.

So it's back to the old site for me and when they pull it, I will be
off somewhere else.
