Listening to my local radio station this morning I learned that the Yorkshire Water Authority is "investing heavily" in water pumping stations in the Hull area. This is to ensure that future heavy rainfall will not result in flooding of the kind Hull suffered last summer.
I got to wondering how much journalistic research and investigation had revealed this heavy investment. Sceptical me! I concluded that the newsreader was quoting from a Yorkshire Water press release, and the statement need not be taken too seriously.
