BBC drops the Met Office weather forecast.

[Eirikur]

EU tendering rules forced the BBC's hands.

And to think all the bods at the Beeb and the Met Office used to really like the EU !



For more fun and games in the public sector just wait till our EU negotiated TTIP agreement with the Yanks kicks in.

Nothing to do with the EU They could have just put in a reasonable bid and without being arrogant, thinking they would get the contract. See this happen in contract after contract with BT for example.

Doesn't matter who they get it from, the originator for all weather forecast providers is still Eumetsat...

[AtW]

They should have predicted it ...

we don't want to buy tomorrows weather forecast from them, but we'll buy next centuries climate

[DodgyAgent]

Expect the weather to deteriorate :

Our graphics are already supplied by another provider and our long standing relationship with the Met Office will continue as we intend to still broadcast their severe weather warnings."

I blame those Tory bastards.

This would never have happened under a Liebour govermint.
