coverage of the floods, winds, power outages, transport problems, etc,
over Xmas.

Has miserable Old Billy had a nice time enjoying other people's
misfortune?

Ain't he lucky, 'cos there's another load of bad weather coming along
next week.



All the news is bad news, not just weather. Haven't you noticed?


Like here then, where most of the posts are down to someone having a
problem.

Much more coverage as it was the South that there would have been if the
floods were elsewhere methinks.


More people affected - more crew available to cover the story.
I've long since stopped worrying that the BBC don't cover stories local
to me - in fact the local paper doesn't do much either. I know what
flooding looks like, as I do car crashes and fires. So I don't feel the
need to see every instance of any of them.


I loved the way they felt it necessary to provide a graphic to
illustrate a ferry reaching Flamborough Head then turning back to port
because of a fire.
