And are those nice friendly positive optimistic pohms thankful? Read here (news.bbc.co.uk)

356392 2005-05-18 11:09:00 That's funny, TV3 reported it was the Met Service graphics software used on their weather forecasts. Met Service developed it, I only hope the BBC gets a better accuracy rate with their forecasting service than we get with Met Service here. :rolleyes: Sb0h (3744)

You could be right, as there are a few cobwebs on my bio HD...

356394 2005-05-18 22:21:00 You should have heard National Radio this am. Apparently lots of Scots feel that this is another plot by the Sassenachs to marginalise their fair and misty land. Evidently Scotland looks tiny on the graphics in comparison with the large land of the Poms. Quite stirred up they are, and the heather is once more ablaze.

Hmm, I must re-look at it on TV3 news to see whether the Mainland is properly represented as far larger and more significant than the offshore island to the north. :D

Personally, I find the TV3 weather graphics to be quite cruddy and amateurish. :(

Agreed. TV1's graphics (weather, and others) are better.

Actually I was quite surprised when I first heard that the Pongolians were going to purchase the same graphics as TV3 - whilst we watch TV3 News rather than be subjected to the manipulative delivery of the so-called "Mother of the Nation" (and get constantly reminded about her obscene salary), I think the TV1 weather is far better. So are the weather presenters. TV3 Toni's high uplift warm front (courtesy of Wonderbra?) sometimes obscures the weather information I am interested in! :stare:

356397 2005-05-19 00:26:00 What annoys me most about TV1 weather is their insistence about forecasting the weather for the wider pacific region. How many NZ'ers actually give a toss about rain in Fiji? (Apart from a few travellers to that region) user (1404)

Could be because One news is relayed to those regions.

I think paulw is correct there (as one One news said that they where as they where having problem over there & they said welcome back to them)
