It's Snow Joke


Is snow news?

I only ask because GMTV (naturally) led with it as their main story this morning. That's the second time this week.

It's only snow! We're not crippled by 15ft drifts with Britain's infrastructure grinding to a halt. That's never going to happen here.

Today was different though, as there really wasn't much to speak of. Both GMTV and BBC Breakfast had people stationed in what they hoped would be heavy snow areas and there was little more than sleet.

Which proves, this is not news.

On another note, Missing You by John Waite popped up on the ipod this morning, and I heard things in it I've never heard before.

Is this because when we were hearing these songs 20 or so years ago we heard them on medium wave radio, so all nuances were lost?

It must be the case.
