On this video, around 16-18 seconds from the beginning, the wind 'tell-tales'
on the chart appear to be pointing in the right direction but they are rotating
in the wrong direction, giving the impression of anti-cyclonic circulation
round a low centred to the SW of Iceland. I don't think it's my eyes playing
tricks with me!

Haha, it's repeated a bit further in. I suspect that the company doing
the videoing were given a shot of the globe zooming in to the UK. They
decided to reverse the zoom, not realising there's one or two people who
would notice. And don't expect marketing to know the difference - they
don't know nuffink!
I wonder if Richard Orrell still cycles everywhere!

If your eyes are playing tricks then so are mine. The streamlines were definitely running in negative time. I don't think the average punter is meant to notice that sort of thing.

No doubt produced by the marketing people without being looked at by anyone who
understands the science. Whatever happened to quality control :-(
