Hi,
I've noticed that since the new graphics came out there are a lot of new dollybird weather presenters on News 24, and less of the familiar faces. Is this because many of the experienced guys have been weeded out perhaps for not towing the line? Simon |

Dunno, guess it's all part and parcel of the BBC dumbing down :-( I notice that the satellite images have been pulled completely on the BBC web site today. No information, just a blank page. Let's hope that they are finally going to do something about the mis-alignment.

With a scale for the UK going from -30C to 36C for summer!! I find the colour scale impossible to read. I think we are yellow, but not sure which one:-) http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/ukweath...perature.shtml If anyone from the BBC is reading this maybe you'd note -30C is a trifle cool for a UK summer. -- Mike 55.13°N 6.69°W Coleraine posted to uk.sci.weather 06/06/2005 17:53:01 UTC |

John Hammond I think Perhaps it's a male thing to notice the girlies and a female thing to notice the wee boys ;-) |

Are you a tom or lady cat ?,if the latter I shall refrain from stating the
obvious.... Apart from the unbelievable desperate Dan,I think most of the new generation of male Beeb presenters are very clear ,concise,and well turned out. Obviously if you prefer the older man Bill Giles could probably be unpickled..... RonB "wafflycat" waffles*A*T*v21net*D*O*T*co*D*O*T*uk wrote in message ... "Simon" wrote in message ...

Incidentally, is John Hammond related to Richard Hammond from Top Gear?
They bear a slight resemblance. Simon |

I have an urge to commit GBH ;-) Because he makes highly relevant and interesting points while using humour to get them across? He also has a lot of self depreciating humour. I really do not for the life of me understand what some people have against him. Most I have found don't actually LISTEN to the points he's making. In actual fact I normally feel a case of GBH coming on when people waffle on to me how much they hate him! They are normally always completely irrational. :-) Simon |
