Twitter is astorm with grumbles that the BBC and Sky News are covering Mandela's death exclusively - not enough info on the big storm. Looking at BBC's twitter page, for the past 4 hours, every single tweet is about Mandela.

I'm not in the UK, and finding it quite hard to see what's going on there. I definitely know for sure that Mandela is dead. He was a great man, but it has come as no surprise to me, and seems a little less urgent than the fact that people are losing their homes, businesses, and potentially family members in our tiny, sea-surrounded island.

Hmmm...

I was after national news - not just the storm. As I said earlier I came in late after a very long day and wanted to see some news. I didnt want to watch a documentary on Nelson Mandelas Life and lots of people passsing on their condolences for hours on end.

News 24 is a news channel. Its called News 24 not The Nelson Mandela Channel. I dont consider myself to expect some other news on a news channel than just one story - no matter how huge it is.

YANBU It was totally over the top.

I resorted to listening to Radio Essex to find out what was happening.
