Signed up to BBC Weather Watchers for a laugh.
I chose Wayne Dwops as my nickname.
It worked well for my first report.
Then overnight some BBC boffin saw it and when I went on, there was a message saying the nickname broke their rules and I must choose a new one.
So being of sound mind and good humour, in the nickname box I typed Wayne Dwops
again.

It has been accepted for the last couple of days, so either the BBC police have not seen it yet, or there is just one person checking the nicknames without a sense of humour.

This is the world we live in now and its not just the BBC. I recently commented on a yahoo news items and was censured for copying and pasting the cords from the said Yahoo article. That's how mad it is . The BBC censured me last year for using in a demonstrative way words highlighting the content of one of their programmes yet the same BBC has no compunction when their so called alternative comedians use every expletive under the sun on programmes like 'mock the week'.
