Default Latest media cobblers .........

Just listening to Steve Wright on Radio 2 (a mine of tabloid
information) .......... there's him reading a headline about the very
cold weather being delayed for 24 hours or so due to the cold weather
from Canada taking longer than expected to get here.

Oh dear. What a load of old tosh.

Oh, and he's just mentioned about temps going down to -14C ...... no
mention of the fact that is a possible wind chill value (of course).

I wonder which of the tabloids he gets this useless info from?

well obviously they don't have your literary skills or your immeasurable
vocabulary, which when combined with a unique personal charm renders the
whole process nugatory.
