Let it snow...



In Sweden, snow remains on the ground for at least 6 months of the year. They measure their snowfall in metres, not inches.

Why is England so damn useless at dealing with bad weather? Many will argue we are ill prepared. They are probably right....no, they are right. But why? We have a cave in the North West that produces enough grit salt to last for at least the next 500 years, yet the government put a restriction on how much a council can store at any one given time, despite constantly warning us about climate change!

Anyway, that's not the main reason. One poxy centimetre falls in the UK and the trains, planes and automobile's grind to a halt. People start flapping like a featherless bird, driving like idiots (by that I mean over cautious and un-confidently) and the biggest news in the UK every damn day on the TV - "Britains Big Freeze" - Even though there are blatantly more important things going on in the world. Do we really need to be told every five minutes:

"Severe weather is affecting the UK and people are stranded and buried alive. Use caution and don't go out unless it's life and death because you probably won't return"

We all know this, we have windows, and eyes. All this is doing is hyping up what is really nothing, getting everybody worried and then people are driving like complete imbecile's as the media spin them into auto-panic. That is why we can't handle the weather.

Anybody that said they can't get to work because of the snow is a useless liar. You are simply riding off the back of the media hype and can't be bothered to get out of bed. The proof is below.

Anyway, the point of this post is that more snow is on the way and people are moaning about it - "I wish it would just go away now" - D'you know what? Just shut up, because nearly everybody loves snow (or at least did) and we see it once in a blue moon. Stop wishing it away, we will soon have our dismal drizzle and pathetic sun back so don't worry and guess what, you will be moaning about the weather again!





This is our office in Milton Keynes - Not a single other light on in the entire business park except ours. This is proof that you can get to work when you get off your arse. We had about 10cm's in total.
