10 years. Whether or not the storm was quite as ferocious as suggested, the fact is that it existed and they were forecasting its arrival 5 days ago. That's some seriously clever computer modelling of an incredibly complicated process.

accurate climate models one day!

You know, the 60-80 mph winds. As predicted. With the occasional 90 mph gust. As they predicted? That storm, do you mean?

Office.

No trains running either which is nice

Surely a company like Group 4 could do this for cheaper (the fact I'm on the board of G4 and they couldnt do it cheaper is neither here or there)

Plus it's tasked with achieving a profit so has to behave as a commercial enterprise.

They are a drain on our stretched resources, we need to farm them out at a huge, but crucially off balance sheet, cost.

Did thatcher die for nothing?

When does this super duper mental storm start?

Great innit! If the weather modelling technology keeps improving like this we might even end up with

The one they predicted, that happened last night, you mean?

I've now looked out of the window and can see a broken branch so yes it has happened, wd the Met.

That will never see the light of day. Too much money at stake.

Typical slapdash civil servants costing the country millions with their mistakes

It came from the Air Minisry and still has an MoD culture, really.

Look at this bad boy

Hmmmmm, it's a bunch of superannuated boffins, c
