I am waiting for winter when they show the wind and snow together, that
should be fun.


What's his name Bronco Lane ? should have been and gone by then if the
axe falls in any of the right places on that dumb-arsed site.

I have the last forecast from Countryfile from the good old days and the
first from the bad new ones. I wish I knew how to post them on the
internet to show anyone who doesn't know what the fuss is about, what
the fuss is about.

It's a wretched thing to watch. The new style corresponds to a tiny
fraction of the information that was posted in the earlier one.

What a pity there are only a dozen or so people who really care. There
are more winkers than that running the show, that can pull the wool over
the
screen.

I would have thought that one of the independent sites would have pulled
their fingers out bu now and capture the market.

Obviously there isn't one?

Having just returned from a house-hunting expedition in France, I am aghast
at what now passes for BBC weather forecasting. It was crap before I went,
and just about unwatchable now.

Peter Cockroft has always been a prat, but now he talks of "blue puddles"
and how we can "see the rain falling down from the sky" whilst I'm trying to
make out what all the blues, beiges and greys mean. The national "forecast"
has us zooming all around the country to locations which I'm positive are
often in the wrong place.

I dread to think of the result if and when Dan'l Corbett appears.....

Back to France for me, soon as poss.

Peter Cockcroft said at 6.55 - just look at those wind arrows drop out by
the early hours...
could I see them drop out, could I hell - they all looked the same speed
and size to me!

Then he said tomorrow - just look at the sun brightening up - eerr sorry
thats the land becoming brighter as the suns in the sky ....

Oh My God

Isn't he just a smoke screen, chaff, put up to take the flak and protect
the real culprits?
