It does appear to me that our little British "society" now seems to consider itself entitled to an existence completely mitigated of all risk and discomfort, simultaneously hating the state imposed infantilisation, hating the obscene insurance premiums and taxes that come with that, but also expecting (nay, demanding) ever more from "the system" whilst endlessly complaining about it.
It ain't sustainable. It ain't healthy. ......in my opinion.
That's a broad, sweeping statement. This country just isn't good at coping with snow for some reason. In Russia or Finland they would deal with it easily. Part of it might me that we've had over a decade of austerity and cuts in funding to councils from the central government and local councils have to spend a lot of money on things like social care so maybe they don't see dealing with occasional snowy weather as a priority.

This country just isn't good at coping with snow because there's too many wimps, and not enough fearless warriors like Caelus who are willing and able to go and and sucessfully put themselves at risk of death or dismemberment, just to see if they can do it...
*I've fallen into using provocative language thinking of it as a humorous thing to do again... Doh!
