Wasn't there an old joke - those that can. do; those that can't, teach;
those that can't teach, become head teachers. I suppose you can add that
those who can't become head teachers, become Ofsted Inspectors (based on
a population of one).

Oh, I am mortally offended. :-) My Dad was a teacher (Geography, English) and rose to become Deputy Head so he must have been really crap. English wasn't even his first language but did have a degree in it at a time when they didn't give 'em away. Of course there none of the micromanagement there is now, or those pointless League Tables.

Does that mean he would have been easily bamboozled by news such as this:

You can never control your mouth, can you, hughes?

Inspection is necessary, to get the best deal possible for kids, but teaching is an amazingly complex and difficult job; as I said, far beyond most in the MetO. However, the pay may be comparable to teachers, after 10 years in the job, so why don't the MetO strikers who've decided decided their lot is not good enough, leave and re-train as maths and science teachers? If they are good enough, the teaching profession would love to have them.......but they would have to be good enough. Pay teachers more; they do an incredible job, as do junior doctors in the NHS.

How patronising!
Isn't meteorology 'an amazingly complex and difficult job'?
This is bourne out by how few times you dare to forecast at 10 days.

Patronising, but absolutely spot on. The MetO do not issue a forecast at 10 days for the general public, apart from a 6-15 day forecast, which is bland and general. Neither do they analyse any of their 6-15 day forecasts, so we have no idea of their accuracy. I think that actually puts me ahead in that one respect, don't you?

Meteorology, is in no way as difficult as teaching, I can assure you! Again, you are conflating two completely different things. Twice in a day.

You are upset. Calm down and think before you post, Col. 🤔🤔 I'm sure mitchell will step in here and criticise your spelling.......

Bamboozled to buggery, I should think. He died in 1978, before global warming was invented. His Geography was more of a more descriptive kind.

Some 4 or 5 years before NASA realised the ozone was killing us -or not; as it turned out. The Americans love a fiasco to go with their Xenophobia. Don't go killing anyone until he shows us more colourful slides. (Then he's all yours.)
