Well Bob, I hate to say of the met office "not often right, but wrong

I don't blame the met for getting it wrong, but surely a drastic warning
like the one above should have been tempered by the confidence level of
the
forecast.

Will anyone get hauled over the coals for this one?

I think you have to accept that advice is worth exactly what you,
personally, paid for it.

Yes, true, but two points spring to mind:-

- as taxpayers don't we all pay for the met service, or is it entirely
self-funding?

- if I had paid for a private forecast, would it have been different?
