Never let it be said you don't try to make the best of a favourable
situation Lawrence - great thing hindsight isn't it..

The Met O are caught up in our risk minimising litigous times, it's not them
driving that. You should attack all those who seek lawyers at the drop of a
hat, or a slip of a foot on a pavement.

Blimey even the Summer weather is being over-hyped now. What will be next,
"severe clouds" forecast for tomorrow followed by a "spell a very sharp
shadows!"
How about a weather warning "the rain will be wetter than usual".

Weather warnings galore on UKMO it's pathetic.

At 07:57 this morning on R4, Rob Mc. was forecasting 'rain of tropical
intensity'.

Has anyone experienced it yet?

I do understand Peter. I work in housing and we have many over-exaggerated
health-scare threats that we have to deal with at a cost.
Water regulations to guard against Legionella's
The new Asbestos regulations
PAT Portable appliance testing
and they are the tip off the Ice-Berg (no comments Alastair)

Now take P.A.T This sounds great. It's not statutory but is seen as "best
practise" The joke is that anyone can set up a PAT practise. There are no
required qualifications.(check with the H&S executive)
The onus is apparently on the customer to be confident in the ability of the
service provider.

So Peter I do understand. Even so, it's still ridiculous over hype.
