You know the weather is bad when ……

Most (if not all) councils have plenty of snow plough attachments for their gritting trucks, but the light scattering of snow we’ve had recently doesn’t warrant a snow plough.
I wonder what happens when a snow plough clouts a speed bump?

Which neatly encapsulates the gross collective stupidity of the Media. They whinge endlessley about LA’s not using snowploughs to clear suburban roads … whilst completely ‘forgetting’ that speed bumps render this operation impossible.

This is because we haven’t had more that a slight dusting of snow here for many many years – so there simply isn’t a need. They don’t have a 24/7 catastrophe centre manned either, just in case an asteroid hits Richmond Park. or a Tsunami sweeps up the Thames one day and obliterates the local theatre.
