      I caught the evening repeat of this – interesting but no big deal if you missed it. Met Office has 1800 staff. Short term forecasts good = 80% accurate; not so the medium and longer term. Its wide range of interest may make it unsuitable to privatise.

      I forgot to say the Met Office has some critics of its stance on Climate Change – too enthusiastic perhaps.

      Radio 4 Feedback starts with some strong opinions on this program, mostly against its casual journalese style, and in particular, bias in choosing three known climate change sceptics.
