This One Takes the Biscuit!

We've all heard of the term clickbait. It's often a digital weapon used by ambitious

youtubers to increase their views, not to mention their youtube income. But this News

article headline above really does take the biscuit. It's almost a new low, something you

normally expect from papers like the online Daily Express, but no, this misleading

headline was actually put out by GB News online, a tv News Channel that I would always

prioritize over the BBC. It was even recently voted the best News Channel for it's honesty

in tackling current issues that other channels steer away from. 

The popular tv show Gone Fishing features Paul Whitehouse and Bob Mortimer as they

visit some of the most beautiful rivers and locations around the U.K. And throughout the

show while fishing, they reflect on life, mortality and discuss their various medical ailments.

So the misleading headline above lead me to believe that one of the show's hosts had passed

on, which was not true. It was in fact their little companion Ted the dog who passed

away in April. Yes, Ted was lovable but he was only a minor part of the show. And so

hopefully the show will continue without Ted.

Gone Fishing absolutely inspired me to make my Surrey River video

last Summer. First posted HERE.

Right now we're in the grip of an uncomfortable heatwave. Something that's unusual

for June. It's also affecting much of Europe, particularly in France and Spain.

But what fascinates me every time a heatwave arrives is that I find myself scanning

the U.K weather map only to observe each time that Lerwick (arrowed) in The Shetlands

seems to be immune from heatwaves. Are there savvy shrewd people out there that

dislike heatwaves so much that they jump on the train to Aberdeen and head for Lerwick

just to get away from the stifling heat?

You'll often notice on the weather maps that when it's around 30c in London then it will

often be half that at 15c in Lerwick. So should those Scottish Islands start marketing

themselves as an escape and bolt hole from these horrible heatwaves when they occur?
