The Bureau of Meteorology has told the Australian public that this is “what you get” when you ignore their pleas to be taken seriously and not be called BoM.
Back in 2022, BoM had a plea to the public to refer to them as “The Bureau”. Naturally, this went down like shart flavoured Zooper Dooper in the middle of winter.
While the public had assumed they had gotten over it, the truth was very different. A source close to BoM told The Times,
“The Bureau (as they still call themselves behind closed doors) likened the Aussie public to that friend who doesn’t respect your boundaries. Deciding that they were no friend at all. So they lumped a steaming pile of weather shit on them knowing they rely on their updates. That’s what you get”
The public now is asking what it will take to return to the old website. However, very few are willing to meet BoM’s demands.
We spoke to a Perth bloke who said there was “no chance” he was going to change his vernacular. Adding,
“It is hardwired into my DNA. I can’t change and frankly have no desire to change. Suck it up BoM and bring back the original weather radar”
The Bureau will consider the Australian public’s position but one shouldn’t hold one’s breath.
