Thread Name: BS: Coping With Snow In Britain (revisited)
Subject: RE: BS: Coping With Snow In Britain (revisited)
East Yorkshire has been VERY lucky and much of the 1/2 Feb snow cleared by Thursday. Back near the top someone warned of being correctly dressed for the conditions and ICE! I currently have a hand sized purple/green bruise on my thigh as my cosiest boots kept me warm but not upright. OUCH, I dropped sideways like a skittle (in slow motion) and still feel like I'm 2 inches narrower on my left side! I used to live in Germany where we were obliged to clear the pavement outside our property before 7am. I know there are so many who will say they do not have the time/aren't able /etcetera but it simply makes sense.(Of course I've not seen the volume of snow that others have suffered.) The most used pavements /school and hospital entrances, main routes to town should IMHO be dealt with by the council!(my employer)
Anyway, it's been pretty round here and it's currently dry so I'll get back to work. H.
