The Express are terrible though. They almost always include a temperature in their headline - in degrees Fahrenheit! Which makes me think they only do it to make a point about imperial measurements.

Daily Express I assume? A few years ago, the headlines used to rotate between 3 topics: Princess Diana, the weather, and some miracle cure for alzeimers/arthritis/cancer. I doubt it's changed much, although I suspect the headlines will also no doubt report some benefit of Brexit as part of this rotation. Obviously these headlines are usually accompanied by a picture of a woman in a swimsuit for a bit of 'acceptable' titilation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha ha - with your legal brain, you should have worked out that I meant in which region - South Downs or the Highlands of Scotland? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steved32 Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 It's been predicted for weeks now! Clickbait, usually from rags like Daily Express/Mail. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
