I learnt to drive in snow when I had an Austin Morris Allegro in the 1980's. It snowed quite often each winter then and much fun was had in the lanes, doing hand break turns and the like. So it didn't matter if I pranged an Austin Allegro, which happened quite often. Its easy to pull the wings straight on a tin box. Great Fun. Nower days people get hot and flustered at the sight of snow. I have made it to work and colleagues of mine who travel much further. My Kids have also been to school which is hard on them when they see others on the tele enjoying the snow. I am hoping it is still here tomorrow so we can take them to Allestree park near Derby. There are plenty of hills there to slide down. So the moral is, its only weather and as with all weather we should learn to cope with it. The media however are always looking for a dramatic story and someone to blame. Well if I were a religious news reporter would I blame him up stairs? |
