Risk of snow

Hmm, re .the epic snowstorm we had a few weeks ago. Every school on the island closed, however I managed to skilfully negotiate my car though almost half an inch of sludge, so bad, it put almost a minute on my journey time, and heroically made it in to work, as all my colleagues did. Still, landlords did well out out of it.

I lived in the Peak District National Park in 1975, it snowed in June that year, 6 inches, I had to walk to school aged 10, three miles, it was open when I got there.
We are becoming soft as a nation.
My god a 16 year old boy could not even knock a nail in a piece of wood with a hammer at my friends work the other week.

Apologies of course to all teachers I offended, before I get lynched, I couldn't stop myself from saying it, my brain said no, but my fingers kept typing ;-)

Thousands of parents breath a collective sigh of relief, meanwhile teachers breath a collective sigh of disappointment.

I wasn't born here and even I recognize that it's an IoW name!

Maybe Don wasn't wearing his tin-foil hat today and the wind-turbine-loving government fried some of his brain?

I'm just waiting for someone to sign on as Mr W Turbine..............

Well said Keith - it was insulting. Surprised that the man who hijacks ordinary news stories with his predictable ramblings didn't know Hunnybun is an Island name.

So I was correct. Again.

I'm surprised at you Don. As a true caulkhead I can tell you that Hunnybun is a well known name here on the Island.

lets hope the council grit/salt the roads this time.Care homes need their staff to be able to get in .totland and f/water have a number of homes we were missed the last time it snowed lets all hope we are not missed out again.Its no joke being stuck after doing a night shift not being able to get home.
