I was reading an article in a Scottish paper yesterday how appalling it was that Heathrow Airport had been closed and that major problems were caused
on the M25 by the snow and how in Scotland they know how to deal with the snow.
a couple of pages on and there was another article about how the snow in Scotland had closed Edinburgh and Glasgow Airports and had caused major
disruption on the roads in the Central Belt.

I come from a place where it doesn't snow much. But snows all winter here where I am now. The first week of it, usually in November, has the
ditches full of idiots who don't yet have their snow tires on. There is only ONE good thing about living here: winter rallying. People say you
can't drift a front wheel drive car. WRONG, you can hang the back out like anybody with a bit of technique and practice!

Hmmmm a few days on.....in some parts dahn sarf, particularly Surrey it started snowing on Sunday evening, in parts there were drifts of 40 cms,
(bottom of my garden being one of them)..... It is now Thursday, and I still have loads of snow in my garden even though it is/has been raining.
It isn't by any stretch of the imagination, the worst snowfall ever.........just the worst for a few years........
'Elf n Safety ... and EU directives were the cause of much being shut, and people not going to work...... and the truth is, that it is something
that happens so rarely down here, that we are just not geared up for it. 
Whereas up t'norf it isn't such a rare occurrence so the highways and byways are geared up for it......
The airport runways and major roads were gritted before it first fell, the snow just settled on top of it.......
I personally found it quite embarrassing that the media reported from places that weren't badly affected...but that was probably because they
couldn't get to the places that were.........
Interestingly though, according to the BBC '......up to 10cms of snow on higher ground around the north of Scotland is forecast, and schools and
roads are shut.......' 
A case of 'Pot calling the kettle black'......

Note to all: I really don't know when to leave well alone. I tried to get clever with the mods, then when they gave me a lifeline to see the
error of my ways, I tried to incite more trouble via u2u. So now I'm banned, never to return again. They should have done it years ago!
