On the EXTREMELY rare occasion subs are unhappy weatheraction can take
action. At the moment their are one or two taking our vastly reduced
rate in view of any snow disappointment. Which is MORE than you can say
for the Met Office! Every time they get a forecast wrong we dont get
tax rebates do we! The amount of times theyve dropped a clanger I think
wed all be MILLIONAIRES LOL!!!


What's the MO's annual budget? A couple of hundred million a year? That
would work out at something like £3 per person per year, maybe £5 if you
only include taxpayers. Looks like pretty good value to me. It's a
fraction of what Piers charges.
