Default We're all doomed ...

Yes, the Daily Express... that's the same newspaper that had front page
banner headlines at the end of the July heatwave proclaiming that if we'd
thought July was hot, August was going to be even hotter! They certainly got
that one wrong.

Then they were going on about how unaturally warm it was mid October,
forgetting completely that we had even higher temperatures even later in the
previous year (I recall it being 21C in Fort William on the Thursday of the
last week in November 2005).

The Express seems quite enthusiastic about running weather stories that seem
to nearly always run along the theme of "... and the weathermen say it's
going to get even worse/better/hotter/wetter..." (delete as applicable).

And, while on the Express rantline, why is it they always have a Princess Di
story on the front page every Monday morning? It doesn't matter what's going
on in the world, Monday is always Princess Di Day in the Express!

Sorry, I do realise that this last point is off-topic... David Allan.
