Tomasz Schafernaker talking to Stephen Fry about the Jet Stream, etc. :-)

-------------

Excellent program and Schafernaker comes across well. Interesting that
forecasts are changing to suit the information-hungry generation with
mention of jetstreams and the bigger picture. Bill Giles always insisted
that in his time mention of the Jetstream would lose half his viewers
overnight, which I always thought was rather arrogant...basically saying
these things were for the trade only and no education of the audience was
necessary. The perennial over-emphasising of London and the SE of England in
forecasts was explained well. Tomasz is not as bad as some of his colleagues
in this respect.
