HN, can you clarify please. I can understand news media always emphasising items that have just 'broken': they seem to think it's their prime duty to be really really up-to-date and first with the news. So I'd expect it to appear on the tickertape thing at the bottom of a TV ppicture (as a pretty routine and expected piece of news, but very topical and with much public interest). But are you saying you got something labelled as an alert, maybe as a text on your phone?

Yes that's what happened - a BBC breaking news alert on my phone.


Turns out there was a Met misconduct hearing after he was charged and confessed, in which they decided to sack him. It was all over the news that day. Seemed strange to to report it as breaking news when there surely could not have been any other conceivable outcome.

    • Seems to be back on now although pressure reduced especially for hot water via boiler. Hopefully I can have a shower in the morning.
    • It’s far too hot. Dogs should not be out and you’re right to post this.  
    • Agree that you have to be so careful dogs in this heat… but please dont judge so quickly.  Its one thing if you see a dog at midday being thrown the ball endlessly, but if you see a dog en route / somewhere - You dont know if that dog was being walked to the vet for an emergency appointment.. or taken to a friend’s house that is cooler etc.  And if they live in a flat, they might desperately need to be taken out for a quick pee / poo ! 
    • I know,  absolutely crazy.  A dog has never died because it didn't have a walk, but dogs do die if walked in this heat. Perhaps the owners should put on a thick fur coat, take their shoes off and jog round the pavements, and see how that feels! 🤬
