Advice: Prolonged periods of cold weather can be dangerous, especially for the very young, very old or those with chronic diseases. If you want more information about how cold weather can affect your health please visit www..nhs.uk. If you are concerned about your health or somebody you care for, please contact NHS Direct on 0845 4647, www.nhsdirect.nhs.uk or your local pharmacist. Hmmm. Thank God for that advice, otherwise those tens off millions that read the UKMO web site would have died......... Do these F&^%$ing idiots realise how ridiculous they sound?

Scoiffing doesn't change the fact that there those who need no warnings about virtually anything; and those who are so stupid that no warniong is quite sufficient. I have no problem with this, or the derided warnings in these threads. Over here idiots regularly get into trouble on the water or in the bush and mountains, breaking every commonsense rule along the way.

I cannot understand how anyone can get so worked up about a warning - for pity's sake worry about things that matter. Life's too short ...
