I was responding to Ian Barton who was talking about the UK.

We also have two other grabbers in the official distribution, one for the US 
Weather Service (NOAA) and one for the Canadian Weather Service (ENVCan) - so 
US and Canadian users aren't without data in 0.21. The BBC grabber also 
covers several thousand towns and cities around the world (all continents), 
does it not cover where you live? 

We welcome legal grabbers for other countries, it was designed to support 
multiple plugin scripts to extend coverage to other countries. It would be 
wrong to say that MythWeather only covers the UK.
