Default What a load of crap


Anyone seen the "new" weather style of the BBC forecasts?

Very 2 dimensional. The ITV messed around with a much more interesting
format last year.

And to cap it all they still send the bloody fools up on the damned
roof. What is that gasometer thing?

I see the weather style has changed on here too:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/world/e...pressure.shtml

Small as ever and crap in the way as per normal BBC.

Why does the date have to be superimposed on the image when there is any
amount of room on the page for that sort of thing?

Unfortunately, their website no longer works with Firefox. As I can't
yet install Internet Explorer on Linux, I am now unable to view any of
the BBCs online weather content. So much for being brought up to the
"21st century".
