Dear Sirs,
I'm writing you from Lisbon, Portugal. You obviously know that the Iberian Peninsula comprises two independent and distinct countries, namely Portugal and Spain. However, when you show your weather forecasts (we see your TV broadcasts as supplied by our TV Cable company) you only show the temperature and other weather conditions for Madrid (Spain). Our country (Portugal) is represented only by a grey rectangle without any reference whatsoever to our capital city (Lisbon) and to its weather forecasts. So, it seems Portugal doesn't exist for you... That's a shame. Portugal belongs to the European Union; Portugal is an independent country since 1140 AD. Portugal, as all other european countries, has Meteorological Services called the "Instituto de Meteorologia". Here is their site: http://www.meteo.pt/pt/ (or, the same site in english: http://www.meteo.pt/en/index.html )
So, would you please include our country in your weather forecasts and not show us in your european maps as an anonymous, unidentified, grey rectangle?
You wouldn't do us a favour. Instead, you would show all the world that you are a responsible, well informed TV station.
Best regards,

Quantas vezes pensei em fazer isto???
ResponderExcluirMas nunca fiz por isto ou por aquilo e foi ficando sempre no "arquivo mental"...
O que também me indigna é o UK ser membro (embora um bocado sui-generis) da UE, como Portugal.
Parabéns e obrigada, Mário.
