I'm one of those saddo 24-hour news junkies. But even I have to concede that sometimes it's pretty rubbish.
For example, a few minutes ago whilst I was eating my lunchtime sandwich, Sky News crossed live to their man in York who has been covering the floods. And this is what the anchorwoman said:
"Hi Mike, what's the situation where you are? Pretty wet still?"
Maybe she didn't have Sky News on.
