skinnybob72 Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 If the Government are looking to save money they might want to consider closing down the Met Office and getting rid of the forecasts from the BBC. I know it's not an exact science but they are wrong so often they should just give up. The forecast after the news just now starts by showing what happened today! Who cares? It's been and gone. The forecast for tomorrow is littered with 'could', 'should', 'possibly' and 'if' - all carefully slipped in so that when they get it wrong they can backtrack, and they're so scared of being wrong that they only go as far as 4pm tomorrow. And don't get me started on the complete sh-ite on the 5 day forecasts on the website - they're just guesses pulled from a lottery machine.

Euphoria Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 The BBC should practically be binned altogether. Save a lot of very good documentaries, they are a total disgrace of a 'national broadcaster'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maroon Sailor Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 The 5 day forecasts on their website are 99.9 per cent guff ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Gin Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 They're usually pretty accurate within the next 24-36 hours. Outwith this is total guesswork. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig_ Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 The OPs got a point, was watching the weather yesterday morning and they were saying there wasn't a cloud within 50 miles of Edinburgh, yet looking out the window it was pissing down! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could not disagree with this more. Try living abroad for a while if you want to see some really shite telly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Euphoria Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 Relative to what? stop taking out your A** I'm not: the extent to which the BBC is pro-union is ridiculous. They should be totally neutral on the referendum debate, but they aren't. After all, people who are pro-independence do have to pay the license fee as well. The same can also be said of their monarchy love-in. On top of that, they treat Scottish football with disdain considering we get less spent on our game than what the Scottish license fee payer actually contributes. The pundits on Match of the Day receive more money than our entire game. Ridiculous. I could not disagree with this more. Try living abroad for a while if you want to see some really shite telly. Err, I never criticised their television programs and I actually specifically said they produce a lot of good documentaries etc, which they do. That doesn't mean they should be ludicrously biased towards certain issues when they should be totally indifferent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
