"Ten days rain to hit Britain tomorrow"
"John Hall" wrote in message
... "Ten days' rain" represents about an inch, hardly that rare a daily fall. A cunning way to be unnecessarily alarmist. -- You've hit the nail on the head. I wouldn't lower myself to buy the Daily Getsworse, but I had a sneaky look in Tesco today. Basically they are saying that the average rainfall in August is around 90mm; some places may get 30mm, so this is 10 days of rain. Obviously the headline conjours up a vison of 10 days of rain concentrated in one day, whereas the truth is somewhat different. I suspect that readers of the Express and Mail must live in a permanent state of paranoia. -- Hungerdunger To reply by email, remove the MARX from my address |
