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

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!

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!!!

What colours during the night?

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.

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...

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.
