Thank you Piers for... er.... not proving anything.

Published: Monday December 31,2007 by JohnThom

I wandered back onto this article this afternoon to see if anyone had said anything else, and it looks like we've got something that could actually pass for spam, from Piers Corbyn himself!

I think the assumption you make, Sir, that we have the time and patience to read a message that long and disjointed, is absolutely outrageous. It just looks like a lot of pasted stuff that proved you might have predicted something right once before, but what does it have to do with a future weather forecast?

If proving your skill was that easy, I could just give up my current job and walk into, for the sake of the argument, a leading City bank, with a load of fabricated "quotes" and a few carefully-engineered statistics that indicate that I'm a good man for the job, and they'd take me on and I'd be loaded. But in the real world it is not that easy, and so reeling off a load of "past examples" that you are not a total clot, is not giving me any evidence whatsoever, as a reader, that your latest forecast is anything like what will actually happen.

If you're so unhappy with papers sensationalising your claims, stop being a rent-a-quote for the Express and do something to make you an accredited guy in your field.

Thank you.
