Misleading Severe Weather Warning headline
One of the Flash warnings issued this morning has the following headline on the
RSS feed: ------------------------------ FLASH Warning of Heavy Snow for London & South East England ------------------------------ It's only when you download the actual warning that you find it refers only to Hampshire and West Sussex and not to London at all. Is it any wonder that the media sometimes get the wrong message when when such misleading headlines are tossed out. Norman -- Norman Lynagh Tideswell, Derbyshire 303m a.s.l. |
