Default Daily Mail: Siberian Big Freeze Approaches

Mike LONGWORTH wrote in news:qiQej.23965
:

The Daily Mail NEVER publish reader's comment which are in anyway
critical of the paper, or what their reporters have said. I know - I
have tried on many occasions to complain about one article or another.

The only way to get anything in print is to agree with everything they
say in gushing terms of praise!


Fair play to the Times - they had a Corbyn comment in one of their articles
- someone I know jumped on this and mentioned that Corbyn is a "subject of
ridicule" in the reinsurance industry, and got it published on the site !

Default Daily Mail: Siberian Big Freeze Approaches

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/liv...n_page_id=1770

But Piers Corbyn, from longrange forecasters Weather-Action, said that
after a brief lull, the bad weather will return with a vengeance from
the middle of next week.

He added: ......

"The average temperature for January as a whole will be close to
freezing, with 0.8C (33.4F) at best, and could fall to minus 12C
(10.4F) in the South."


Blimey that's a low average for the South. Best wrap up warm.

Squelching through the mud, Paul C at , blathered on thus, and
it became the following missive...

Was that irony or sarcasm...? Or neither?

I'm sure he'll be able to defend it with reports of snow from
Cairngorm...

According to the BBC at http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/7169438.stm
"Snow up to 10cm deep may settle on Scottish hillsides, with drifts of
up to 4cm on lower levels."

Snow drifts up to 4cm ? My god, that's over an inch high, it could
come halfway up the side of your shoe !
