Dr Kenneth Noisewater 0 Posted February 3, 2009 Author Share Posted February 3, 2009 (edited) Why the fuck when there is some snow here the country comes to a standstill? because we're not used to adverse weather conditions as they are very very rare? That's it. If you live in Canada or a Scandinavian country where they have heavy snow for months on end I expect you soon get used to driving in it and carry snow chains or have studded tyres and all the gear. Likewise, the infrastructure in those countries will be set up to cope with the conditions. The problem we have is that serious snow is so few and far between that we never get a chance to adapt to it. EDIT: Having said that, there is NO EXCUSE for the dickhead trying to pull his caravan up a hill on the A19 in rush-hour yesterday morning after all the 'keep non-essential journeys to a minimum' warnings.

Craig 6700 Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Absolute bucketload came down here last night again - as bad as Monday. Daughter didn't want to go to school today, tried to appease her by saying the good point of going to school when it's snowing is playtimes. And guess what..... Yep, that's right, they're not allowed outside at playtime!! This country is going to the dogs man... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Kenneth Noisewater 0 Posted February 5, 2009 Author Share Posted February 5, 2009 A lot of the schools are staying closed as a health & safety issue because they don't want to get sued if someone breaks their arm or something. No wonder we're breeding a nation of spineless, spoilt, soft shites. Does anyone else remember as the playground snow got compacted, you could make huge long slides with a surface like polished glass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meenzer 15742 Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Speaking as a specky cunt, I bet the opticians are pissed off that kids aren't being allowed out at playtime. Iceball Season must be their most profitable time of year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone else remember as the playground snow got compacted, you could make huge long slides with a surface like polished glass The job at first break time was to prepare the slide. So long as you gave it enough runs during that time, and the temp was low enough, it was fucking deadly by lunchtime... What a load of shit though not letting them out - she reckons she was off to tell them that Dad was allowed to play in the snow at school and so should she. What's more, I agree with her!

Craig 6700 Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 I'm predicting the south east will officially implode tomorrow... The Met Office issued severe weather warnings for heavy snow in much of southern and central England, Scotland and Northern Ireland. BBC weather forecasters are now warning that similar quantities of snow to Monday could fall on London and parts of southern England on Friday. Snowfall is expected from Essex through Cambridgeshire and the West Midlands as far as Dorset in the west, with at least a couple of inches expected. In the south east, snow is expected to remain until Saturday. The area to the north west of London is most at risk, with a forecast of eight inches (20cm) of snow. Source: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/7873063.stm Lucky old me works in the area to the north west of London so no doubt I'll have fun driving around those idiots who still insist on driving as though it's perfect conditions. Had a butchers at the snowfall map on the BBC as well - bet all the teachers are already resetting their alarms for a lie in! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJS 4411 Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Everythings just about clear near me now but Nationals Express East Anglia are already altering services for tomorrow based on the BBC forecast - I hate to say it but after Monday's debacle, I'm not going to put much effort in travelling if they start cancelling trains again.

Meenzer 15742 Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 I'll nip to the shops and stock up on basics in the morning before anyone else does, just in case. The local Tesco Express was out of milk and bread for 48 hours after Monday's flurry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
