The problem is that Piers would do zilch that was relevant, accurate or

useful however much money he was given.



I probably ought to qualify "useful", in the sense it is useful in

In the link, UKMO state:
'In global models, ENDGame's improved accuracy and reduced damping produces more detail in synoptic features such as cyclones, fronts and jet stream winds.

Glad to hear that the model will predict less rain.

Goodness. Malcolm is right. I am becoming a troll despite my PhD.
Save me!
