coverage of the floods, winds, power outages, transport problems, etc, over Xmas.
Has miserable Old Billy had a nice time enjoying other people's misfortune?
Ain't he lucky, 'cos there's another load of bad weather coming along next week.
Well they could learn to spell Surrey
Crystal Palace DAB BBC Surry

Sounds like the phonetic way to spell Surrey when said in a posh accent. Smiley.
You have missed an L after the S.

Perhaps they haven't 'bin' there?
There doesn't seem much point. It's the SE so grabs the headlines by default.
Strange that when the whole East Coast took a hammering from the biggest storm surge in decades together with widespread damage across Northern England and Scotland it hardly got a mention...
When was that?
"Artic" misfortune?
All the news is bad news, not just weather. Haven't you noticed?

Like here then, where most of the posts are down to someone having a problem.
this stems from the RDS limit of an 8 character station name.
Much more coverage as it was the South that there would have been if the floods were elsewhere methinks.

More people affected - more crew available to cover the story. I've long since stopped worrying that the BBC don't cover stories local to me - in fact the local paper doesn't do much either. I know what flooding looks like, as I do car crashes and fires. So I don't feel the need to see every instance of any of them.
No smiley so I shall asume it's a serious question.
The same time as some 95 year old with a long standing lung infection finally pegged it in South Africa.
this type of reporting has been going on for nearly 50 years! TW3 had a sketch which ran "The whole of Britain has ben hit by blizzards - here is a picture of the snow outsie the newsroom window"
No matter how many times I count, "BBC Surry" comes out at nine characters.
Parity error?
:-)
And why does an RDS limit affect a DAB station?
The space counts as 1 character.
Are you saying that to agree with me? Or to disagree in a way I haven't fathomed out?
:-)
Just winding you up :-)
