Also on the 10am news bulletin there was an article concerning the "severe"
cold snap we were suffering and the new danger that had suddenly arisen at
our very own doorsteps. The danger of slipping over on the pavement outside
in the snow.


Hmmmm interesting. I have gotten up this winter and in previous 2 winters to icy
surfaces on many occasions and nobody ever told me to be careful. Strewth I even
drove up the hill outside our house the other day in hard packed snow and ice
and nobody warned me. I even went to do a bit of sightseeing on snowy roads and
nobody warned me of the dangers. And then the other day I walked 1400 feet up on
the open moor in driving snow with less than 100m visibility and the temperature
well below freezing but nobody told me it was dangerous and that I shouldn't
have done it. Why wasn't I warned ? :-)

Will.
