While in mid-rant... what about the Met Office website tablet/android
edition? The satellite image there (which doesn't seem to be a true
satellite image) shows white clouds against a Google map with a white
background!!! Which numpty came up with that? Now, that really is
useless!


After getting caught in an unforecast band of rain while on foot a long
way from home, I wrote a script which fetches the latest high-res
satellite picture from Dundee University, crops it around the UK and
eastern Atlantic, labels it, and sets it as a desktop image.
