Because of the way the maps were tilted, they appeared to suggest that northern Scotland was on the periphery.

Now I wouldn't want to cast aspersions or anything but surely, northern Scotland is on the periphery of the island what ever way you tilt the maps? As is the Isle of Wight (in the interests of impartiality).

Also:

"That pull will be all the greater when the Olympic flame reaches British soil in what is likely to be the year of the Queen's diamond jubilee".

Surely it's either her diamond jubliee or it isn't?

The newer weather graphics still annoy me.

Firstly, a tilted map is useless when trying to explain the weather, if it was a good idea one of the print media would have been using it already. Secondly, the ditching of pressure bars and mention of weather systems makes the whole thing too dumbed down.

Worst of all is this insistence on using a predicted weather radar view to show rain, it's so seldom accurate that they really should just dispense with it.

But then, there should only really be regional weather forecasts anyway...
