BBC viewers in Scotland have created a storm over a weatherman's alleged description of their town as "nowheresville" during a television broadcast.

" Scottish BBC viewers were not too kind in responding to Schafenaker's description of their hometown. According to Ananova, Western Isles MP Angus MacNeil said he has been overwhelmed with angry complaints following the weatherman's remarks.
