    It's the same with snow, Scotland gets snow and it's business as usual but England gets a bit of snow and everything comes to a standstill <laugh>

    Funny, I could have sworn shools and bridges were shut in Scotland when that storm hit. As I've already said 165mph was 1 gust over the very top of the highest Mountain.

    They did - most places closed for a half day but if a similiar storm (or stronger) hits England the press will go over board and it will be a national emergency!

    It's a bit of wind for **** sake...

    And we gave it a good name <laugh>

    Scotland gets hit by strong winds more reguarly with the worst it hitting areas with very low and sparse populations. If a storm hits a very densely populated area such as London it will cause far more damage. It's the same with Earthquakes, Tsunami's or any severe Environmental event.

    The councils are **** and don't grit the roads, people moan and cry about the snow instead of just getting the **** on with it and teachers will look for any excuse not to work.

    Countries who experience difficult weather tend to be better prepared, it's not rocket science. What's your point anyway? Are you chasing the 'deal better with snow' trophy? <laugh>

    'We're pure better at keeping our schools open so we are' <doh>

    Hang on, if you're Irish, Ciaran, why do you never end your posts with "diddly-dee" or "potato?"

    Erm no. You are going on about how the Scotch are the bestest ever at keeping the place open and I pointed out that the place shut up shop the other day because wee Morag left the door open while using her hair dryer.
