Hi, All,

Good for the media hype!


Oh they'll sieze upon that one allright!

It's like when you see a headline of '99mph on the south coast'
then find out it's from The Needles, which is exposed even by
coastal standards, never mind being remotely representative of
where anybody actually lives.

But they always do this, I had to laugh at the reporter yesterday
who had clearly been placed right on top of a cliff somewhere, so
quite obviously he was being buffeted around, but of course that's
the whole point.
