Who thinks of these questions?

I'm getting really fed up with some of the inane questions being asked by (BBC) news desks to their reporters in the field. This morning's stupid question, whilst covering the flooding in England, was, 'well Mr Reporter, the rain last night was much lighter than expected and didn't cause any further problems. Were the residents pleased?'
The perfect reply would have been, ' Well no, they were extremely disappointed, just when they were looking forward to even more devastation and an even longer time with a flooded home and no drinking water, the rain then goes and plays this cruel trick on them.' In fact the reporter ignored the ridiculous question completely and did his usual piece.

Jan got inspired the other day when Glyn cooked a paella outdoors, so we popped into Weldoms yesterday to buy a pan. Neither of us are big paella fans but Jan is keen to have a go. I can't wait.
