I've seen reports on another ng that schools in Dudley are closed tomorrow
already!


3 years ago snow was forecast for this area. We had a little but nothing
like what had been forecast. No problems on the roads - everything normal.
Everything, that is, except for the council's refuse collections - they
closed down for the day. I (and many others) complained and was told the
weather had been too dangerous for the collections to be made. I disagreed
but they insisted the weather had been too extreme :-(

Lazy sods had arranged the day off (paid) the day before and stuck to it in
spite of no bad weather.
