BBC forecast for "Saturday day"?
I notice that the 0:05GMT Sunday update for this page:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/ukweather/ helpfully starts with a forecast for "Saturday day". This isn't a one- off, either. What on earth is the point? -- Above address *is* valid - but snip spamtrap to get me to *read*! Support the world's oldest motorsport venue! http://www.shelsley-walsh.co.uk/future.html |

Below "Saturday Day" is "Saturday Night" Though I guess this can be a bit confusing for some people as the last update is "0:05 28/12/2003" ie 5 minutes into Sunday... Though if they called the current period "Sunday Night" theer would be even more people confused as that would generally refer to a period about 18hrs hence. Calling it "Sunday Morning" would similary refer a period in about 8hrs from now. Oh and it could be useful to check how accurate their forecast wasn't. -- Cheers Dave. pam is missing e-mail |

My point is that seeing as there is an update five minutes into Sunday, why not remove the (by then useless) "Saturday day" forecast" and start with the night one? -- Above address *is* valid - but snip spamtrap to get me to *read*!
