BBC Headline Clanger

One’s BBC outdoes oneself in the headline department by claiming, “Summer may be wettest ever”.

Shouldn’t one’s headline read: “Summer may be wettest since rainfall started being recorded during 1914″.

It’s the word ‘ever’ that offends.

Think about it.

Does the BBC know what the rainfull was in the summers of AD 1274 or even 47 BC? I bet they do not. And I bet that they do not know what the rainfall was on the day before rainfall records started being recorded.
