Daily Mail: Siberian Big Freeze Approaches
Not to be outdone by the Express, and because news of asylum seekers
and truffle shortages at Waitrose is in short supply, the Mail offers this nugget of lunacy: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/liv...#StartComments Martin |

Here is one such comment: "As ever with met office predictions, l shall believe it when l see it. Would trust Mystic Meg more than that bunch. And you know what - Mystic Meg is SOMETIMES right!" -- Mike Tullett - Coleraine 55.13°N 6.69°W posted 02/01/2008 14:24:37 GMT |

I have just replied to the above comments page warning the Daily Mail off Corbyn and saying in doing that he tarnishes the Met Office's hard work at forecasting as normally these forecasts are associated with them. Doubt it'll get published on their website ! Richard |

Told them what will really happen and asked if I'm right if I can have Weather Action's fee! Also love this "Extremes of temperature affect the chemical performance of the battery, resulting in a loss of charge.' Ok, then why didn't you tell everyone in December before the 10 air frosts that will probably produce lower temperatures than this will! Dave |

Mind you, these Daily Mail comment facilities soon fill up, and although they will allow you to submit a comment, it often never appears. CK |

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! -- Mike LONGWORTH, Yateley, Hampshire, UK |
