Looks like the straw that broke the camel's back, good on 'em!

I just wish there was some way that the Express could be made to publish
that article with as much emphasis as was given to the original misleading
story.


I wonder why the Express keeps on publishing these stories. Surely all
but the most slow-witted of their readers must have noticed by now that
these "forecasts" almost never prove to be correct. All the Express is
doing is harming its own credibility.

John, I think it is the credibility of the Met Office that gets damaged
as stated. I also think you have seriously under estimated the
slow-wittedness of their readers ;-)
