The Times wrote:Scientists are expressing concern over reports that a northern person may not have slept under the continental duvet last night, but rather on top of it, claiming that it was "too stuffy" to do otherwise. However, the Royal Meteorological Office has issued assurances that the current spell of abnormally warm weather is nothing to be concerned about.
