Just a follow on from the now rather dull cold winter forecast thing

Yesterday's (Glasgow) Herald's Motoring section lead article, a terrible
half page on winter motoring (Fog tips: Put on fog lights, don't tailgate
etc..):

"The weathermen have told us it's going to be a severe winter.." and then
"how they know this baffles me.."

He is referring to a misconstrued very general "forecast" given by Metcheck
but maybe if the Met Office had a decent spokesperson who could actually be
visible and counter media hype and speculation this would not happen.

The average punter would have seen AB on GMTV and read the headlines but did
not see any MO response to the contrary.

When we don't have a severe winter (and some people will some wont) then
ironically it will be the MO who get the blame and not Metcheck (and the
reverse will naturally apply)
