That happened in the late 90's! The Stanine Score for TG9 was reduced, so we got f**kwits!!!
I refused to give my initials when passed weather info from Kinloss!
KSS: We're now GREEN, Can I take your initials?
Me: What's changed?
KSS: The Colour Code, we're now GRN
Me: So what's changed?
KSS: The colour code! Can I get your initials?
Me: NO!, What's changed?
KSS: The QFE is now 998

WTF!!!!!!!!!!!
(Colour code is based on Cloud-Base & Visibility, but a change oF QFE/QNH was useful to ScATCC (Mil) as we passed weather onto to aircraft inbound to Scottish airfields!)
