Heard on the Radio

Continuing on the hot weather theme, I was driving home the other evening listening to radio 4, and the news item was about Englands hottest day. The news reader proclaimed that England had been hotter than the Costa Del Sol and even hotter than Rio de Janiero.

Well of course it would be hotter than Rio, its winter in the southern hemisphere innit?

Made me wonder how often the media use these little snippets of 'junk' in their reports...I'll look out for them more often now

Well when I was in the USA the commercial stations seemed to have a bit more oomph to them that they do in this country - apart from the last time I was there, and they all started to get a bit bitchy, which didnt make for good listening. So I used to listen to NPR (national public radio) cos that was a bit like radio 4.

I listen to radio 4 quite a lot, they usually have a good play on (i really gotta write a radio play one day) and I am a bit of a news junky
