Chris we all know it's a chaotic system but unfortunately the Severe weather
warnings don't reflect that fact.

If you are suggesting ignoring the weather warnings, then why have them?

As you say the 87 Hurricane storm incident has had an effect but this is
against an increasing backdrop doomsayers telling everybody how fraught with
dangers our lives are. Yet inconsistency and pure poppy*** come to mind.
Take the smoking ban, well if the government feel smoking is so bad then
prohibit the import,manufacturing and selling of the bloody things. But if
smoking so bad that you can't do it anywhere but can still buy the
cigararettes then confuse things even more with allowing 24hour alcohol
consumption.
Believe me the cabinet have their uses for UKMO. Smoke and Mirrors! Now
there's a pun.
