Idle Banter For non SV and non bike related chat (and the odd bit of humour - but if any post isn't suitable it'll get deleted real quick).
There's also a "U" rating so please respect this. Newbies can also say "hello" here too.

It's claimed it is straight from a NASA satellite. I doubt it's been touched up. Resolution would be so low that it would appear all white, even when motorways etc would be cleared.

Why should the BBC report on the weather for another country? Just cos it's attached to part of the UK is irrelevant - no?

They tell us the weather in the US like we need to know that. Surely the way the winds blow over the south or ireland make a difference to what arrives in the north and further.

Ignoring the southern part is just as silly as when they used a voice over guy for gerry adams imho.
