I dont know about you , but every time I see a "So Called" Senior Forecaster on TV , I nearly collapse with mirth!!! It appears a "Forecaster" becomes a "Senior" Forecaster after about 1 months service with the Bureau.
Intertwined with words like , Perhaps, Chance of, Maybe, Probable, Could Be, Likely to , More Likely To, these turkeys sprout out the biggest load of C..P ever heard, relentlessly.
How come you never see the same "Senior Forecaster" more than 3 or 4 times on TV before they strangely disappear from the screen forever.
There must be a huge turnover of staff at the Weather Bureau.
Thank God for Internet Weather Maps, the average Joe Blow with half a brain can determine a Weather Forecast with decent accuracy in a couple of minutesfrom these sites.
If the Government wanted to get serious about budget cuts , the Weather Bureau would be my FIRST CHOP!!!!!
