I tend to feel that warnings are overhyped, issued when totally
unnecessary, and are almost becoming the norm - severe weather
warning, ' there will be weather today - wrap up warm/wear something
cool - drive safely - take an umbrella - get the old barbecue out -
batten down the hatches - don't drive unless you have to (good one,
that) - stay in bed - give up '.
Dopey, dumbed down Blue Peter stuff for a dopey, dumbed down world -
reducing the intellect level of adults to that of dumbed down non-
educated kids. Brown's "aspirational" Britain!
