The content of a weather warning is of little use if it
is not communicated accurately. When lives - as we
have been told - are at risk there is no excuse for
badly expressed warnings containing imprecise detail,
fudged geography and sloppy English.

What imprecise detail & fudged geography?
And if the sloppy English to which you refer is the debate
between a singuar/plural public then wasn't the general
consensus that they were right to say it was singular?

When such warnings are broadcast by people who
are supposed to be professional communicators,
there should be no place for emotional presentation,
gratuitous personal advice, or personal opinion, all
of which have been heard on radio and television
today.

Agreed wholeheartedly
