Not news to anyone here, but it does beg the question why we allow the press to print blatantly misleading stories like these.

Because Express readers have less attention span then goldfish.

Basically they will print anything at all to sell more papers.

It is *always* good to out people/rags like this and we should continue to do so. Not a single Daily Over-Expressive/InExactaweather reader will take any notice, but it is great entertainment value to stir them up.

The same goes for all climate deniers, racists, misogynists, xenophobics, humananity-haters and UK haters. The idiots absolutely detest being shown up and it is completely hilarious, so well done bruce!

You can bet your bottom dollar that Powell will read this newsgroup, as he will monitor other newsgroups for criticisms. Narcissists do. And he'll hopefully read - and completely dismiss - your well-directed criticism. laughing

The serious side to this is that although us lot on here are lucky
enough to know enough about the weather to disniss this as
ludicrous nonsense and just laugh at it,others may not be so fortunate.
Imagine being a pensioner, living on your own, who is already worried
about fuel costs.They won't know the difference between these
charlatans and the Met Office, they will be scared ****less about
forecasts of the biggest freeze since the last ice age.

That just isn't right.

Unfortunately that website is fighting a lost battle. Even BBC reporters
routinely use the modern meaning.

"*Even* BBC reporters"?! The same ignoramuses who I've heard say "would

Yeah. I agree - but the bar is low. BBC reporters seem better educated
than most.

It does happen. A good friend of mine quoted Exacta Weather at me once. I had to tell him, as gently as possible, that they peddled absolute nonsense and he should use the Met Office. He's got a brain all right but he doesn't know much about meteorology - few people do.
