Man, you definitely know your stuff, but do you not think that your last paragraph is patronising or condescending? You have already made your point about the narrow minded scientific community and the alleged conspiracy to stifle new and radical ways of thinking, but the great irony is that you have joined their gang!!! Can't we just wait and see? Is there any need for someone as you to denigrate MB's forecast? When it goes all tits up, pull it to pieces by all means, but for now as an intelligent man, I am shocked by your attitude and would hazard a guess that MB would be offended by this, after all, its only a forecast. BTW.... I fancy a weeks surfing at Woolacombe Bay at the end of April, surfs up? Sunshine? Anyone???? METO or MurcieBoy or RJS or GFS or....... Toss a coin...... What needs to be remembered is when the forecast was made.........
