I could also say the the symbols have been replaced by cowpat and urine


The evidence in another thread suggests you'd make a mess of it.

Well I did hear that Bert Foord has been dead for four years. I've never heard anything about other weathermen during that period in recent years apart from Jack Scott and Barbara Edwards. What about Keith Best, John Sherwood and Graham Parker who were both around before Michael Fish arrived. Are they still alive

Yes, and they're really *very* upset at your suggestion that they are "turning up [sic] from their graves".

Saw someone reading the Daily Mail this morning and one of the headlines talking about the graphics being scrapped. More Mail nonsense or something actually in it? Has anyone read the article?

There's a piece in this week's Ariel which says the graphics aren't as unpopular as has been made out.

The latest data from the GSK Pulse Panel, which is apparently 5000 licence fee payers who give their reactions to programmes, said that 48 per cent prefer the new graphics, 21 per cent think they're as good as the old ones, and 31 per cent prefer the previous look.

However, it also says the weather centre manager is taking comments on board. He also points out that people are much more likely to phone up to complain, than phone to praise.

Most people here in Northern Ireland are happy with the new graphics. We almost get a full forecast the end of the sweep across the UK.

It's 'apologise' by the way.

Anyway, I wonder if Crazy Frog would be a good weather forcaster taking Carol Kirkwood's role in Breakfast and sing crappy songs while jumping about in the 3D graphics

Apart from Bert Foord, Are there any other weathermen dead

With all this talk of degrees of murder, Where do you reckon I'd come....

Umm should I broaden the title of the thread to include other weather forecasts; BBC 3's was again brilliant this evening "well it's brown there, thats, umm blue and oh yeah rain"

Media Guardian now reporting that, as expected, the BBC are going to

Rethink the new forecasts
