Indeed. And I imagine that the MO is required by the NHS to put out




these "cold weather" warnings, so that is where the blame - if you think




blame is appropriate - should go.








I was expecting Lawrence to be pleased that the MO (quite rightly)




hasn't put out any of their own yellow, orange or red warnings for snow




or ice.

In their defence do you ever watch TV quizzes like "Pointless" or "The

Weakest Link". There are some incredibally stupid people out there!!
