The Big Freeze

God, I'm sick of the weather. Actually, not the weather, but the media coverage of it. Has anything else happened other than it being a bit snowy in the UK? Unremitting footage of closed schools, car accidents and empty salt depots (incidentally, it's rock salt, not grit). Endless shots of swaddled reporters standing in the High Streets of "cut off" villages (how did they get there if the villages are cut off, eh?) We don't need to see this - all we have to do is look out of our windows.

Although I was amused to hear stories of local authorities going on bended knee to one of the more reviled portions of the citizenry to beg for help. Yes, 4x4 owners, you aren't baby killers after all. At least, not for the next few days anyway.
