They had a few guests and a phone in talking about the snowy weather and how it's affecting everyone.
Would I be right in thinking that you lot would share my sentiment of:
"It's only a bit of snow, stop panicking and pull your socks up!"
People were complaining about road conditions and extra heating bills, I was thinking to myself, "well just slow down in the car and put on a couple of extra layers at home"
I didn't use my heating at all last winter because I couldn't afford to, it was bitterly cold but it didn't kill me.
Also last year when I was driving back from Buxton there was an outrageously heavy snow storm and the roads were thick with snow, it was pretty treacherous.
At one point on the journey there was a queue of cars that wasn't moving at all but the cause of the blockage was out of sight.
I Parked on the side of the road and walked on a bit around the corner to have a look.
It was a steep hill that people couldn't get up in their cars, everyone was just sitting about looking perplexed.
I went to the car nearest the top of the hill and started pushing, then someone else joined in and we pushed a couple more cars up.
Then I flagged down a passing hooray in his brand new Land Rover Freelander and got him to give some people a tow. All it took was a bit of effort and cooperation.
People in this country are a bunch of useless softies, us bushcrafters are more hardy and resourceful.
Rant over.
Peace.
