It's nice to see The Schaf getting such support.<br /><br />Mike:<br />Thanks for pointing that statement; I only just noticed it myself, hence my update today. Glad his agent is on the case!<br /><br />Tintoid:<br />I very much appreciate your lovely comments about my blog, I'm glad you liked it.<br /><br />Unlike much of the press and some internet trolls elsewhere, I think I've put things into perspective, and highlighted what a crazy decision this is. I wish I could do more to help him out.<br /><br />Janine:<br />I thing your bang-on with that. I too suspect that that Tomasz could be 'too popular', many presenters have upset presenters by being just that. <br /><br />Are we too PC now, that we can't have anybody with any personality, just in case they offend some miserable old sod somewhere? <br /><br />Perhaps explains the growth industry of non-descript presenters (often pretty females) we have now, and why you don't see much of Fern Britton or Rustie Lee now.<br /><br />I too wish Tomasz all the best for the future, and again ta muchly for the kind words about my scribings <br /><br />["Big thumbs up" emoticon]Roger Melliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06154582523939163299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6311036489554955646.post-45919561270867039152010-10-14T02:53:11.666-07:002010-10-14T02:53:11.666-07:00According to Tim Reed Management, Tomasz Schaferna...According to Tim Reed Management, Tomasz Schafernaker will no longer be presenting on-air.<br />Quote: ""I'm shocked that due to restructuring the Met Office have taken the decision to remove Tomasz from any on air presence. Tomasz and I are still waiting for feedback from the Met Office as to why he hasn't been chosen to remain in the broadcasting team. Nobody at the BBC has ever expressed any dissatisfaction to either Tomasz or me a...bout the standard of his work." <br />Tim Reed Management".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6311036489554955646.post-76785108384719741162010-10-13T16:52:40.254-07:002010-10-13T16:52:40.254-07:00Oh no, what awful news, poor Schafers.

It does make the BBC and Met Office look rather stupid getting rid of him in light of the TRIC award and as he is so well loved, but as you say maybe that is part of the problem as far as the powers that be see things.<br /><br />I'll be sorry to see Phil Avery and Rob McElwee leave our screens too. Particularly as it will mean we will no doubt be seeing more of the bland non-descript weather presenters from now on, most of whom I hate to say seem to be female and somewhat interchangeable.<br /><br />I hope that your prediction of bigger and better things for Tomasz turn out to be true and hope you will soon have some good news to tell us about in your usual wonderful style.Janinenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6311036489554955646.post-12747098610569395812010-10-13T14:24:41.773-07:002010-10-13T14:24:41.773-07:00A very good blog Roger with many accurate and vali...A very good blog Roger with many accurate and valid points. A very short time after his award too makes it all a bit baffling.<br />He is a very good presenter with a clear, friendly and personable style.<br />I share ytour sadness.tintoidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14486730048275100865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6311036489554955646.post-62982910066212824302010-10-13T14:13:29.761-07:002010-10-13T14:13:29.761-07:00Commiserations
