@alp I saw in the TV news some snow-covered highway at you and cancellation of flights because of terrible weather. This is probably in the north of the country?
No, unfortunately. This country is like a joke. Even in London airports, all have been in disarrays! That's why so many people have been so angry. Every year we have a few days' of snow, the whole country come to a standstill. People are stranded in the motorways. Of course, it is worse in the north, but basically, passengers have to sleep on the floors at the airports. Another funny thing is that every Christmas, quite a few train drivers are on strike, thus crippling the transport network. These people pay a lot of money for the train fares and yet the services are not reliable and yet every April, to add insult to injury, there is, without fail, an above-inflation fare rise. Just tell you that successive governments have not been able to tackle these problems. It's like people decrying fat cats' wages, nothing will be done. Until Corbyn's followers surge forward and even now, the hapless government is slow to tackle people's discontent. I might have strayed a bit.. but there are such strong parallels..
Hard one to call for this paralysis as we don't have such heavy snow down in the south and because of this, investment in tackling these seasonal problems is not worth the while. But if people suffer from the inconvenience, they really suffer and bear pain!
At the end of January I'm having a new central heating system and will be without for five to seven days, brrrrrr! I only hope the weather is milder at that time.
