Harrogate: So, BBC Breakfast had this wild moment when reporter Yunus Mulla was out there in the snow, giving live updates. It was around 6:17 AM, and the whole place was covered in white. He was trying to show us just how chaotic things were with the snow hitting the UK hard, causing all sorts of delays at airports like Manchester and Birmingham.
But, oh boy, viewers were not happy! They were questioning why the BBC would send someone out into such dangerous weather. Yunus mentioned it was snowing heavily for a couple of hours, and you could see the snow piling up around him.
He described the scene, saying, “It’s settling, and there’s a huge blanket of snow here in Harrogate.” He also warned about the amber alerts and mentioned some tech issues they were having. It was a bit of a mess!
Yunus advised folks to think twice before hitting the road, saying drivers might get stuck and should carry blankets and snacks. Smart advice, right?
Meanwhile, the hosts back in the studio were trying to keep things together. But viewers were quick to voice their frustration. One person tweeted, “BBC MUPPETS ARE REPORTING FROM SNOWBOUND ROADS! … TAKE YOUR OWN ADVICE F*WTS!”
Another chimed in, “Thank god we have a news reporter standing in the snow in Yorkshire to tell us it’s snowing.” It was all a bit ironic, really. Someone else pointed out, “Don’t make unnecessary journeys,” which just added to the humor of the situation.
In the end, people were left wondering why anyone would venture out in such weather unless they absolutely had to. BBC Breakfast airs weekdays at 6 AM on BBC1 and iPlayer, so you can catch more of these moments if you want!
