Personally I think the UK met men/women are bloody good especially when they've been stationed somewhere for a while and know all the local idiosynracies. If you ask a few pertinent questions and listen to them they tend to tell you their gut feeling rather than what they think you want to hear. Oh yes and they can get it wrong- like we never do...
TMM- honesty is the best policy, tell us why you think the weather is going to be the way it is, not try and fit it into somebodys arbitary limits so they can get their stats in. Unfortunately people don't tend to thank you when you were right either-sorry.
AG- you linger on like on a bad smell, annoying and rather boring. You have no place here, please leave you ignorant twerp.
