Just read a story on the BBC web about a 16-month-old kid in Florida, U.S.A. who fell from a balcony and was caught by a British lady. Great deed, well done,..
But…..
A couple of comments:-
> If I’d just saved a baby, I still wouldn’t want it mentioned in the papers if it meant they were also going to say it happened poolside at “Econo Lodge hotel”
> Who names their kid “Jah-Nea”?
> The headlines from a few news agencies. The first four run with ‘Brit’; note how CBS differs from the others:
