    Teaching the kids how to play 45, eating junk, and trying to get 4 cats to be civil to each other, they are not used to being inside so much

    Well as Rambo and the rest “advise”, safety first. Mind how you go. Be careful (high pitched whiney voice)

    Definately. Safety first. You don't need the whiney voice though, it's getting tiresome.

    Channel 5 just did a two hour special on the snow in the UK

    But some people never watch or listen to or read any news. They won't have been aware of warnings not to go out.

    I didn't even know Channel 5 was still a thing. Who watched that? It's full of all the garbage that even TV3 won't show.

    Same here, I think it's a primeval trigger to stock up before a few months in the scratcher.

    According to the UK met office, the UK gets on average 23.7 days of snow fall or sleet a year (1981 - 2010).

    Imagine if they had 23.7 days of curfew a year, they would never get anything done.

    You must watch it a lot to know so much about it.

    You're the most hyped up dramatist on this thread! You're beside yourself with indignation. Fashionably offended (on the internet).

    I can only imagine how stupid you'd have to be to think the UK gets 23.7 days like this a year on average.

    Not really. They knew the weather forecast before they took on their journeys. Turned sour, they got caught up in it, tough sh1t.
    The public need to be left make their own decisions, not dictated to.

    Who's dictating? There is nobody stopping you from going out. There may not be anywhere to go but that's down to the free choice of individual businesses.

    In case there's any children reading that might think he's a reasonable thinking adult I guess.

    Anyone going out, walk with the wind in your back, and then walk backwards coming home.

    Rambo believe me, there are hundreds of thousands of people in this country who think this “lock down” is way over the top.

    I know that probably angers you but accept it and try to come to an accommodation with that.

    If it makes it easier for you, feel free to lash out. I understand.

    I went out. To work. Had a barbecue when I got home. Finished at 6 or after. Went for a walk locally.Like something from a Stephen King novel because of a band of ****w1ts. Who despite how wrong they are professionally will still be in a job next week.

    Most of that is on higher ground. A figure you conveniently left out.

    Clones has more days of snowfall than that, per year.

    But who cares about proper stats when you want to make a witty post.

    Whatever about the warnings being an embarrassment to some, I'm sure all the people stuck on the motorway in Devon for 24 hours wished the British Government did the same as ours.

    There’s 65 million people in Britain, so what if there’s a couple of dozen stuck on a motorway. At least they didn’t shut the whole country down.

    Embarrassing stuff from the Irish Government as usual.

    Not much worry there. People have common sense. You dont always need to win the argument to win the argument.
