no west aust

(perth west aust)

I have just watched the weather on the bbc& it is sub standed I love the news becausit is the best but when it comes to the weather it is sub standed. You show aust the eastern states gets all the coverage & perth gets soomone standing infront of it

What is wrong with you is the weather people all slow leaners. I have sent emails before telling them west aust is one third of the countrey & perth is the most iselated capatel in the world.

Get your graphics deptment to make the map of aust smaller so the person doing the weather isn't standing in front of perth or cut them out of the map - let me gess the weather person is south affrcan I see more of sa than ido of perth. See if you can get it write; please let me gess the edators name is richard craneham.

Barry's Response - Well, this is a familiar sounding problem. I live in Canada and the National weather forecasters here tend to prefer Toronto, and give second-thought to the west. At least they will mention Calgary, Edmonton and Vancouver, but usually in the same breath.

On the whole, though, they're pretty good. Maybe the Australian weather channel could take a few notes from Canada's Weather Network.
