  • I am having difficulty getting this video to play without it having to buffer every sentence or so. If I leave it to buffer for 15 minutes or so, no buffering occurs.

  • Typical BBC hyperbole: describing the 2004 Boscastle flash flood incident as "struck by a freak storm" to encourage us to infer that the 1607 Bristol Channel occurrence was a tsunami rather than the tidal surge that it actually was.
