UK Weather Maps

[User20205]

My god this is like wading through treacle.
Rangers have around the 7th biggest home attendance in the UK. Averaging around 48k [?]
What is Poole Town's average attendance 500 [?]

[Can't believe I actually had to reply to that]

I can't believe you did either :rofl:

I see your local 'big soccer team' pull in crowds of around 10k but still manage to be half way up the EPL......decent effort that.

Bournemouth?? About 13k ish until they build a new stadium. It’s not about attendance, it’s about TV money, that & paying your tax bill :thup:

Who said I was complaining, it's rather the opposite old boy.
I am absolutely delighted that the BBC have finally managed to get the correct scale on their UK weather maps.

I was actually referring to all the complaints about the new maps on the BBC website ...............

4,000 complaints in 2005.......hmmmm they obviously carried a lot of weight 13 years ago.

Never heard one complaint about a weather map before I read this thread.
If you're living down there how are you getting news of all this apparent whinging up here? Right wing English media perhaps? Any whinging is likely coming from SNP politicians, not general populace.
How does whinging divert attention? - surely it raises attention, if you make no noise, no-one cares.

I recall that there was a lot when the BBC chanaged to the overfly graphics with the UK tilted.

And over the period of 35yrs I've lived down south - I have been home in Scotland quite a lot - and especially over the last 3yrs a lot. And when I am out and about I hear a lot of whinging and frankly rubbish talked about England and the English. And it irritates me. because there are genuine issue and concerns - but these can be drowned out by the rubbish and - frankly - anti-English prejudice.

Err no. Never seen a politician going on about it, but it's frequently talked about on social media by average joes

But that’s what the regional news is for. Poole town don’t get shown on national TV, so why should rangers ??

Exactly, although, Melchester rovers, or whatever they're called are also shown, why are english regional games good enough to be left in your opinion? Why do Scots have to suffer guff FA cup games, but you don't get the Scottish cup?

Scottish BBC 1 showed 2 hours of Swansea v Notts County on prime time evening TV the other night.
That would be similar to England/Wales viewers watching. Kilmarnock v East Fife.

How much would you enjoy that ?

9 goals, what’s not to like :thup:

8 for on side, sounded like an absolutely spiffing game.

As a nuetral it was. :thup:
Because the BBC won the contract to show the FA Cup they have to, they would have to pay a fine/levy etc to the FA if they didn’t.

The BBC had to choose from 4 poor replays.

Because for once the BBC got something right :lol:

 

[SwingsitlikeHogan]

Anyway - I watch Sportscene on iPlayer (that music!!!!???) - so last weekend was a quite goodie for me - with the Weegie Bros both being beat - pity the Jambos turned over my bunch of Fermers. But there you go - can't have everything.

I thought everybody, nowadays, got their weather forecast from Alexa...
Not nearly as gorgeous as Carol...
But, just as pleasant a demeanour...

Wait until they bring in a hologram Alexa, or Alex for those who would prefer it.

Surely/sadly, in the future, such holograms will be non-binary...

One for the weather map/football pendants.

Stranraer v Berwick Rangers.

or

Southend United v Yeovil.

Without external help or consulting the old BBC weather map........which set of fans has the longer journey.

I'd reckon on about four hours for the Yeovil fans to get to the glorious estuary town of Southend...

Can't help you with the other bit...
