I find it amusing that the Met office have access to a £zillion super computer, satellites, aircraft, balloons, radar, & top boffins such as Professor M Fish, but seem to make regular absolute howlers when it comes to forecasting.

and then there;s Moley, who has a PC, some seaweed and a stone tied to a piece of string, who manages to time the storm last night almost to the minute.

Well done to you Moley

Now that really did make me laugh out loud SOT. Im up the creek without a paddle now though, my seaweed got blown away in last nights winds. If anyone finds it can they please ensure its safe return ?

All joking aside though I think the Met Office come in for a lot of unfair criticism. A fair bit of my predictions are based on information I read and interpret from them, but I use other sources as well. However I will no doubt fall on my backside as I try try and plot the track and timing of this weekends storm. More to follow, but thanks again for reading and posting.

Thanks Moley .... my friend in Tiverton is fine ... she tells me that today the rain has stopped and the water is going down. Also Swindon is dry and bright.
On the downside, I popped outside last night and got smacked in the face by a large piece of old seaweed !! If anyone knows who lost it I'd be interested ..... where theres blame theres a claim

Ok Pam. If you want to spill the bean. Then "yes" I did it, and Jane, she was there too. So, what are going to do now PAM?

But when you said 'let's send Jane a stone', I thought you meant some jewellery!
