Daily Express foaming at the mouth (although what's new about that?)

I feel I must confess that I'm not a regular reader of the Daily Express. Well, who would be? However when my attention was drawn to this particular article, I just had to read. And so you don't have to feel as dirty as I did, I'll pull out the relevant quote:

The BBC was attacked last night for wasting licence-fee payers’ cash after figures showed it swamped its channels with 530 days of repeats in just one year.

Yep you read that right. It really does say

The BBC was attacked last night for wasting licence-fee payers’ cash after figures showed it swamped its channels with 530 days of repeats in just one year.

No, I'm not sure how repeats = wasting cash either...

Still, it gave me a good laugh in its complete rabid, foaming-at-the-mouth indignantness, and was set to be the funniest thing I read all day. Unfortunately for the Express, I then discovered Garfield Minus Garfield and ended up laughing so much that the tears were rolling down my face...
