Old weather forecasts

[Pro Tour Punditry]

I reckon today's forecasts are a load of old cobblers, and they were much better with the stick-on map, and they even showed Scotland in it's proper size and not in a reduced form as they do now (fact).

Here is @rich p telling it how it was in 1979.

[QUOTE 3063064, member: 9609"]I remember when they made that change and tilted the whole map over so as they could concentrate better on the on the 'home' counties, it was as if they pushed us up into the Arctic circle, I don't think the weather has been right since.[/QUOTE]

Yeah, the weather has been all squint ever since, hasn't it?? Can't get a straight downpour for love nor money now, can you? I mean, its practically horizontal these days!!
It should really be at the top of the list of things to do for Alex and Nicola in Edinburgh, fixing the weather!!

What I will say is that that is how the country leans geographically, but that still isn't an excuse to reduce our size!!

Yebbut given the Scottish weather, this is probably true!!

From a cycling perspective having the actual wind speed rather than the stupid fat/thin arrows they use now was much better.
