A Radio 1 listener’s NSFW Storm Henk tale was picked up by Metro and their headline writer really ran with it
The oddly-monikered Storm Henk continues to batter parts of Britain with more flooding, travel disruption and power cuts expected and a cold weather alert for the whole of England from Saturday.
Happy new year, everyone!
And yet there was some, ahem, light relief from the weather misery courtesy of this Radio 1 listener’s message broadcast by its Newsbeat programme.
And we’re not entirely sure they’re reading out what they think they are.

But Metro – never one to miss out on a winning headline opportunity – surely knew exactly what they were doing when they picked up the story and ran with it. They really ran with it.
They’re doing this on purpose, aren’t they? pic.twitter.com/6epYQsr4Mu

Never change, Metro!
Got to be a wind up surely.

Well, there definitely was a wind up, that’s for sure.

To conclude …
Headline of the year right there

A final thought.
Some people have fun in storms. https://t.co/Jjjm1QwJrA
