This was featured on 'Breakfast' this morning.
One of the presenters proclaimed that he was surprised as
he didn't think that salt water could freeze.

He was wrong of course in two ways.
One, that Lake Eire is a fresh water lake anyway but I
guess you could just about excuse a non-American
for not knowing that.

But not knowing that salt water freezes??
Somebody who has reached the very top of the British
broadcasting media, who must surely have a reasonable
intelligence/knowledge and not knowing that?

It beggars belief.
