Q: Who does the met office report the weather to? A: To the Ministry of Defence and anybody else who is prepared to pay for the service.
If you don't believe me, check up on the Met Office website and find out who runs the Met Office, who appoints its officers etc. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Stephen Humphreys Sent: 14 May 2007 11:43 To: U.S. Metric Association Subject: [USMA:38679] RE: Reaction to the Telegraph ... snip Question: Who does the met office report the weather to? Answer: Those who report the weather to us. I'm not aware of the met office ever broadcasting directly to the public. And wind speed is always converted to mph whenever I have seen it on TV or heard it on the radio. I guess it's possible that some papers quote knots, or that the shipping forecast uses knots but I've never seen/heard that myself. _________________________________________________________________ The next generation of Hotmail is here! http://www.newhotmail.co.uk
