I caught Radio 2′s 1pm news bulletin while in a cab.  Needless to say, the most important news item in the world today is that it has snowed in the south east of England.

As part of its in-depth reportage of this vital event in history, the BBC Radio news department was broadcasting interviews with toddlers on the grounds that “recent mild winters mean that some children are experiencing snow for the first time.”

In other news: genocide, war, torture, starvation, poverty, yada, yada and yada.

Here’s Tom with the weather.
