Just seen this forecast. I get the impression he is getting worse and
worse. Waved his arms in the general direction of Scotland and said there
would be "severe gales over parts of Scotland". No attempt at indicating
which parts are more likely to experience this severe weather! Little
mention of the sort of rainfall to be expected over an area with a number of
severe flood warnings in force. Really worse than useless!

I saw a slightly earlier one of his on News24 where again he skipped
over what might happen tonight and instead concentrated on the tour
around the country at 9am Monday. His time ran out (they had overrun
with a report on the fireworks factory fire) so I didn't find out what
might happen tomorrow evening either !

Agreed, it really was pathetic. The graphics were zooming out at high speed
at the very mention of Scotland

I heard an amusing forecast on BBC Southern Counties earlier today

It was the weekly forecast and following the "forecast", the programme
host had a chat with the "forecaster".

It transpired that presenting the weather on the radio was a part time
job - His "day job" was a supermarket manager!!!

Could explain a lot . . .

I'm afraid I didn't get his name though otherwise we could have had
another public flogging of a BBC weather "presenter" :-)

Cheers

Neil

I will still take Corbet any day over the Daily Express.

Tomorrow's weather related headlines read:

"Big beast of a storm will lash Britain all week"

and

"100 mph hurricane and a bad hair day for some"

My head goes into my hands at the state of "journalism" today

Was it Richard Jackson?

Yes, I think that was his name

Has anyone noticed that Mr. Corbet often cannot finish a sentence? The last
word is often shortened and runs into the next sentence - he gabbles away at
a quite ridiculous rate. It can't be insufficient time, as others manage to
speak coherently, and some even mange to pass pertinent details.
