At least Francis Wilson slammed Metcheck

He did that on Radio 4 the other day, not necessary IMO. They got it
wrong, they've apologised already. What's the point of going on about
it.

For the very reason that the question about that Winter forecast was
asked of them. Even so I don't think the distinction between forecast
sources was understood by Steve Wright, though that's hardly surprising.

Precisely.:-D ;-)

There is a world of difference between apologising both HONESTLY and
EARNESTLY for misforecasting the weather, then to just smile and walk
off with a big grin on your face - which is what Tom Presutti, Gavin
Partridge, and although he is LONG forgiven, so I shouldn't really
mention his name anymore, Brian Gaze, did after forecasting their
near-collective "1947 repeat" or whatever rubbish was then spouted!

As I said it *really* gets my back up, and is enough to drive a
perfectly SANE person like me to near-online insanity!:-o

Only the seemingly endless, dependably yearly, "seasonal" mild ramping
of Codge and other such hopeless sadists irritates me further.
