Given the number of e-mails and text messages read out by the presenters on GMTV in the morning, I assumed that their viewers were a critical bunch always ready, eager and poised to write in for any reason at all.

But on today’s showing perhaps not.

During the weather forecast at 7.30am, a graphic was displayed to indicate that a certain area of the country would be affected by high winds - that area was highlighted in red and had “12am” written on it.  The weathergirl, Clare Nasir, then helpfully said the winds should die down around about lunchtime.
