No... don't be cynical. It's an unsung position. Customs and Exactise. Some

Hi Paul, I'm a senior research scientist, specialising in extreme weather
prediction. Before that I used to be a senior lecturer at the Met Office College
teaching meteorology to graduates.

I often wondered why I have placed so much faith in your (muchly appreciated)
weekly forecasts over the years.

I now know why :-)
