Just emailed Radio 4's PM about the same thing. They dropped it in the last
mention. Perhaps they've had many! I cut and pasted this groups mention of
the "m" word from the faq.

Freak Mini - Tornado!! AAAAARGHH!!



The ITV news wasn't too bad I suppose having had Terence Meaden in and
mentioning that it was a T4. Even though umpteen folk mentioned in
various news broadcasts throughout the afternoon that the UK gets
between 30 and 40 a year and that the UK is one of the most tornado
prone places on the planet they still had to get the 'things are getting
worse' climate change oar in on both the BBC and ITV.

Perhaps Gordon Brown should draw up a new 'twister tax' of say 5% for T0
events up to 55% for a T10 that'll fix it :/
