Spotted on the weather forecast this morning! Wind speed & direction too!
But not on the BBC - it was GMTV. I know which forecast I shall be watching in the morning from now on. (Hint... not BBC) Cheers |

I know which forecast I shall be watching in the morning from now on. (Hint... not BBC) That will teach them. I can see rivers of sweat pouring off 'em. Hear rattling windows at Bush House. See trembling transmitters at Alexander Palace. A kitten with a ball of string. Cuddly toy, cuddly toy. Look out for oil stains in car parks and trollies in streams in all the major cities in Britain. The end is nigh! -- Posted via Mailgate.ORG Server - http://www.Mailgate.ORG |

The BBC are to be certified I feel , since when has the UK been the colour of the IRAQ desert or do they know more about global warming than we do !

They should have the land a green colour, and when it is meant to be sunny it could turn yellow, areas with cloud could be white, blue still for rain.... Psychedelic!!! |

It would be nice if rain fell FROM the cloud rather than into it! The rain falls into blue puddles on the brown ground. As I've said before, I assume that brown was chosen because it contrasted well with the blue rain and that blue rain on a green ground would not have been a clever choice. Graham |

Still the demented butterflies for "wind speed" however I caught Weatherview for the last time until someone on here reports back that they have sacked the fools irresponsible for this stupidity. It got really humid and warm here in the afternoon followed by a srong breeze in the evening before it cooled off. I didn't see it coming. Despite the internet, I had lost touch with things -damn getting hooked on one meiocre medium. The worst thing about it is that I have despised the news side of the BBC for decades. And for the weather to be handed over to those sods to mung... -- Posted via Mailgate.ORG Server - http://www.Mailgate.ORG |

And for the weather to be handed over to those sods to mung... I believe many stuck to BBC News because of the (up until recently) relatively unambiguous weather reports at the end. George Allagiah's 6pm news was always one to miss though. Dreadful. With the BBC now run by marketing mad idiots that trot out all the trailers and the new style of Top Gear, I just wonder about those in charge of the other channels. They are no better. David |
