has Britain gone soft

London would explode if that happened.

Lets face it... We have a hard enough time keeping trains on tracks and running on time even if the weather was a L.A-esque 80-100 degrees....

There no doubt about it....Grey and drizzly is our inherent speciality.. πŸ™

You'd HATE Chicago then...we never have the same weather two days in a row, I swear. 50 degree temperature swings (in a single day) and nasty storms out of nowhere are our specialties πŸ˜† as well as the random snowfalls...actually, this year we've only had 2 real snowfalls, one was about 12 inches and the other was 6. Usually we get more...but yeah, I guess I'm used to wacky weather and it amuses me when 2 inches of snow could shut down a big city.

See if we had actual varying REAL weather like that, we'd be better prepared through conditioning, but as 70% of our weather is mundane grey monotony, whenever it gets either noticabley hotter or colder...
We go to pieces...

Lousy fake weather.... 😠 πŸ˜‰

Screw it...!! "Ticketman...Two tickets to the tri-state district...!"

a 10 year old boy was killed under a giant snowball in aberdeenshire this week...it would almost be funny if it wasnt so tragic

here is not a very good reconstruction of the event

Yea ive heard its all snowing and stuff back home, i remember my buddy telling me he was waiting at home listening to the radio to see if busses were running because the roads were closed as he couldnt get to college.

but then the roads the busses take to get to his college i imagine would be very dangerous in icey conditions.

and im crap at that game, my max surviving limit was 12 meters

I rule when it comes to snow. I am the snow master.

Erm, and sh*t.

its not seroius unless a foot falls!!

Ok i didnt read all the post, i only read the first post and felt the need to reply straight away.

It may not have been to bad in ur area but where i live in Scotland (east) it snowed quite considerably. About 15 inches to be precise. It was almost impossible to get our car out the drive way. Although i will admit that the UK does not know how to deal with snow πŸ˜‰

See there you go.... Now 15 inches...THATS snow...!!!
I live real near London and our snow barely settled at all....!
So it couldn't have been that bad....
But you guys in Scotland got THAT much... Lucky so-and-sos... πŸ™‚
God. What a swizz. πŸ™

you must be a fifer then...cause i live in the east of Scotland too...Dundee to be exact...and we got the sum total of about 4 inches...that nothing though...but it still is enough to bring the bloody city to its knees...despite the fact that we pay through the nose in council tax there never seems to be gritters and ploughs on the road when they are needed...and loads when they arent

15 inches is a normal snowfall here πŸ˜‰

15 inches is a good snowfall.
