How the people of Germany,Switzerland,Austria,French Alpine regions,etc etc must be laughing at Poor old GB,we grind to a halt,whenever we get more than a couple of inches of snow,..schools are off,shops close public transport becomes non existent,Police forces are even hiring 4 x 4,s,yet the afore mentioned countries just get on with it,in the German alpine regions,1 metre of snow is the norm in winter,but we never see it splattered all over the news 24/7,..I can remember back in the 50,s/60.s when,winter meant snow,and we got on with it,schools never closed,buses still ran,albeit more slowly,
Why is it that we,ve suddenly become a nation of Wusses,is it because we,ve had it too good in the 70,s/80,s/90,s when snow came and stayed for a day or two then disappeared, or is it, because were governed by a bunch of Numpties who think it better to spend millions of ££££ on other countries,than to upgrade the services here at home,..the latest expenditure by those in power,spending millions to help lower "our carbon footprint"is just one of many examples,
