    and a waste of licence payers money.</p>

    They obviously can't forecast 5 days in advance so why bother trying. (N) </p>

    i didn't think the bbc did their own forecasting and that it came out of the european medium range weather forecasting center in reading.

    could be wrong though.

    I've been monotoring this for a while now.

    They can put owt they like in days 3, 4 and 5 cos it changes so much that it only becomes accurate when those days become day 2. If you follow.</p>

    Earlier this week they PROMISED me snow on Thursday, then Friday, then suddenly today I have to wait til Sunday.</p>

    If they went back to the days of just having one weatherman who relied on his Grandads records and a bit of common sense, who only came on once after the 6 oclock news,then people like me wouldn't be left frustrated and (this week) bitterly disappointed about the total inaccuracy of this so-called &quot;service&quot;.</p>

    The money saved could be spent on a nice new period drama.</p>

    Grrrrrrr</p>

    Ooooh

    The show where he never paid his parking tickets was called The Gaffa. The same actor played Selwyn Froggit in another show.

    Blimey look at me mixing up my terrible childhood sitcoms. Good spot Jay

    I remember the theme tune to The Gaffa. Well I say that, it went "he's the gaffa" and I forget the rest.

    They can't even forecast tomorrow's weather

    Never mind 5 days in advance!
