    Ok lads if that what ye think, keep doing the fruity non-maths. I think a Gov has a duty to those they represent in all matters. If you want to define their duty to this occurrence & give them plaudits, fine. They aren't so stellar in other issues, eg Housing, Health, Employment, Mental Health, Transport. I won't go on cos I'd be accused of trying to add up an entire fruit hamper mix!

    If only there were a way of "electing" a new one. And if only there were threads about all of those things.

    Either tell us you're cold or feck off out of it.

    We're talking about this event though.

    It's not a "so what do ye all think of the government?" thread.

    Can someone confirm that I heard Evelyn Cusack correctly on the news just now? She said parts of Dublin could get up to a metre of snow.

    Me to son: "you call this snow!, i remember the snow of 1982"

    My Dad: "1982 ?, that was snow for girls!!, I was there in 1963, that was real snow!"

    My Grandad (staring intensely into the fire): "None of ye know what snow is. I was there for the snow of 1947. BLACK '47 as we called it"


    Yeah thats right I heard my granny on about the snow of 1947. She said she had to walk to school and the snow was as high as the telegraph poles !

    Jeso I didn't realise this had become the weather thread here! 
    I have been reading this thread all day where posters both praised & damned the gov/media for over-hyping this event. Those that said the Gov was over-exaggerating it all were slated & I agree, Gov issued proper advice! What I find hard to accept is this gratitude to the Gov for doing the right thing. I only wanted to point out that they never got an emergency task force together when it went belly up for so many people? Chill

    1947 was but a breeze. 1784 was the fun storm. 65 feet of snow and yet people were out and about in breeches and short pantaloons. Men were men in those days.

    Some agenda to bring it back to the banks.

    I'm not sure how you thought it was a looser thing given the thread title and the subject of the thread being the reaction to the weather.

    You do realise that the UK was scheduled to be hit first and Ireland after.

    What have people got against staying safe indoors?
