Mad how big of a story that became so quick....fire engines and ambulances everywhere in town.

Reported as breaking news on BBC website.

The lack of smoke was probably a big give away.

The BBC news website just seems to be turning into the one show. Totally vacuous.
Neither of these two stories from today are worthy of a local paper, let alone the BBC.

Woman finds quite a big onion.

Where is the public interest in any of this?

I personally expect to be bummed in the gob by deadly snow & ice.

Well I'm "the public", and I like snowy deer video!
Count the hits; then tell me it's not of interest (sic) to the public.

Facebook is for deer videos.
BBC news is for actual news.

All the Met Office folk I know have a good sense of humour. Even the statisticians.

After slagging off the BBC a couple of days ago, we now have this stone cold classic.
