Flawed warnings

Here we go again.
Flood warnings across the country as it pisses it down with rain and the tide of watery metaphors looks set to rise in the media.
According to a reporter for Radio 4’s 6 o’clock news, the National Flood Forum’s helpline has already been ‘inundated’ with calls.
Back on the very first Hackbash post, Simon brought our attention to how often the coverage of the summer’s floods had brimmed with watery clichés. Clever? Rarely. Insensitive? Sometimes.
Whatever, it looks like we can look forward to another surge in the coming days.
