Default BBC sea temperature map? (And a couple of other whinges)

I notice that on the BBC's UK Weather page, there is no longer an option to
see a Sea Temperature map. When the current setup first appeared, the sea
temps weren't linked to directly, but you could see them by directly typing
in the URL. Later on, that stopped and for months and months all you got
was a message saying the Sea Temps were "not currently available". Now the
thing's gone completely. What's going on here - are Sea Temperatures ever
coming back? If so, when? If not, why not? And why has there been no
explanation?

And while I'm at it, why does the temperature square above Newcastle
*still* use the wrong font for all but the current day? It looks horrible,
and yet nobody seems to have bothered to do anything about it. Yes, I did
send a (very polite!) email querying this, but as there was no answer (or
even acknowledgement), and nothing has been done, it doesn't look as though
they care how unprofessional it looks. Which is very.

(Mind you, this is the same BBC that says, "The cost of the new graphics is
not something we will go in to [sic]" - to which the obvious response is:
"Why not?")
