Thanks Colin. Philip Eden would never have let something like that slip
through. The Telegraph's current weather ""expert"", a fellow called
Joe Shute, reported in Saturday's Telegraph that he had discovered a
new wind only that week. It was called the Foehn. Heaven help us all!
The sad demise of a once quality broadsheet. Any of us could do better.


Believe me, the guy currently filling that role on the Sunday edition,
called Peter Stanford, is far worse. The trouble is that Shute and
Stanford are journalists who have been asked to cover a subject that
they know nothing about and probably aren't even particularly interested
in. I've read articles by them on subjects that they actually know
something about that have been fine.

I don't suppose they even see anything from the weather section in
advance other than their own columns. The rest of it is probably put
together by someone from Accuweather (who supply the Telegraph's
forecasts nowadays).
