Well Hello,

It's a Monday, and yes it's rant time
I can't hold this one back

I had a quick glance in the Mirror Paper yesterday,
page two headline, Big Freeze Set To Hit The Uk

They claimed the snowstorm that effected New York last weekend was
heading our way

That the south-east could even see a slight covering in places

And the temperatures... wait for it
Will be as low as 4 degrees C in places

That is Plus 4 degrees, not minus

I laughed out loud when i read the article

Let's see, New York had two foot of snow over the weekend.
I checked out various New York webcams during the event and since
Roads have been cleared and are open.
People in New York will be going to work today
Children will be going to school today

As they will be in other countries that have severe winters, parts of
Finland for example

So isn't it curious that London and the South-East area of England in
general can't seem to cope with a light snow cover

I know it's become a very rare event, but really
New York can cope with a huge snowstorm, they pick themselves up and
get on with it, so London should really be able to cope with light snow
That's the end of my rant for today

Oh yeah, this cold snap has not even delivered a slight frost to the
North Devon area yet

The precip on Saturday evening remained as rain until it stopped,
despite the temperature dropping back to 36.9F

Oh dear, spot the obvious mistake in my first post lol

Ok, it's really Tuesday, so let's just call this Tuesday's Rant

I only had a couple hours of sleep last night, that's my excuse anyway

It's OK. Nice to find someone literate admitting he reads the Daily
Mirror in depth.

I am suprised there is so little for you to rant about though. Just
imagine if you had the ability to read Billy the Goat upside down while
taking charge of a large country.

What do you expect from a comic like the Daily Mirror. It wouldn't have
appeared in a decent paper like the Daily Mail ! ;-)

Ah but even the DT today reports (p6) that 'Temperatures across
southern Britain yesterday did not fall much below 4F...'. They're
obviously preparing us for the forthcoming global cooling but still
glad that it wasn't that cool in my neck of the woods.

Trouble is that this highlights a serious point. Most people will take all
of this as accurate and pass it on. There are lots of other things going on
in politics and around the world which are reported with the same
disinformation and errors. Control the media and control the masses. Except
for us lot of course!

Hear hear Dave!

Well said Dave. Whenever I read in the media about something which I
KNOW all the facts about, they ALWAYS, without fail, get it hopelessly
wrong. Makes you wonder if ANY of what they report is well researched
and not deliberately misleading ............
