Yes but with some of the "presenters" we have at the moment you'd want
them to put their clothes back on Adrian D. Shaw wrote: Felly sgrifennodd General Von Clinkerhoffen : 10 mins long with an attractive woman stripping! You mean: "Ooh it's going to be hot tomorrow, best take off your clothes." Isn't that the way it's heading anyway? Adrian |

Michael,
I totally agree ... 'just don't understand why there's never been a regular & decent programme (Weatherview??) dedicated to the subject. I agree with the 'Magic Roundabout' slot too, he he! A 'Sky at Night' type broadcast would be rather nice. Michael Mcneil wrote: For a start it would be more than 2 minutes long. Perhaps 5 minutes as a generality but an in depth one spanning the globe similar to "Weatherview" to be shown at a reasonable time. Perhaps replacing some political slot around 7 or 8 pm. Ditch a few nancies to make room for it. Maybe one like it but not too similar at mid-dayish. Bugger the type of stuff that required symbols like sunshine and rain icons or that cock-up the BBC is foisting onto us. Personally, I can live without that but would suffer it if it pleased the masses. No waving at the pretty pictures and no going out on location. And no standing in front of the damned map! I want to see where the weather has come from and where it is likely to go to. So that means a broader atlas, Canada and the Panama Ithsmus to Norway and Germany France and Spain. And if it takes ten minutes occasionally to cover all the possible permutations then take the time from some spin doctor or show one or two less adverts. It should take precedence over any greasy, lying, son of a bitch politician's slot anyway. Show it before the news and save me wading through all that meaningless tripe. In fact the perfect weather forecast would replace all that side of a news bulletin. It would be perfect if it did that -even if the forecast was as wildly inaccurate as it is possible to be. |

Michael Fish might be looking around. Get Bill Giles in there too if he;s interested. Who's the one I have forgotten? -- Posted via Mailgate.ORG Server - http://www.Mailgate.ORG |
