In the South of Ireland, the bit run by Brussels rather than by London, there were quite a few empty shelves in the Supermarkets. All due to the 'Weather Warning' of Snow.
My brother, when visiting during Christmas, ironically said, "Let it snow!" in relation to the fact we demand safety, rather than initiative. Now, I can see the sense.
People need to loosen the collar; to get more oxygen into our brains. People are too afraid to live, and too scared to die.
