Just as I was trying to wind up that damned WC Inuit snow lover (when he
gets back and reads though all this lot).

Everybody deserves a good wind up occasionally. It's just a pity some of
them have to take umbrage.

Perhaps you should take a step back and appreciate that
the vast majority of people aren't affected by snow like hill
farmers are, so it's perfectly reasonable for them to like it,
whilst acknowledging the dangers to some.


You know the score eh Col ? NOT.

Well Jim certainly thinks that the snowballers don't have a clue about
the harsh reality of snowfall. Once snow started to interfere with
their daily lives they'd quickly be looking for someone to blame.

Try it here just now and see what happens when your childish
obsession takes a hold. It's death for the animals and financial
ruin for farmers.

Oh not the tired old 'liking snow is childish' argument again.
Of course ones's like or dislike of a weather type is going to
be coloured by how much one is adversely affected by it.
Perhaps you might like it if you lived in Essex?
I'd certainly hate it if I was a sheep farmer on the Isle of man.

A day or two of snow like we've got here, preventing you from
getting to Tesco would have most of you snowballers crying foul.
Whingeing about the council not doing enough.

That sounds harsh I know but sometimes ignorance is highly
irritating.

Now that's not fair. Us townies aren't ignorant of the effects of
snow, we've all seen the horrendous pictutes of sheep being
pulled from drifts on the IOM. And anyhow, what difference
would it make if I hated snow anyway, it's effects would still
be the same.

Grow up Joe.

Can't enjoy peanuts because some people die from an allergy to peanuts.

Can't enjoy too much sun as some people suffer from an allergy to the
sun.

Can't enjoy the scent of flowers or new-mown hay because some people
suffer from an allergy to pollen or may have a fatal asthma attack.

Can't enjoy motoring because thousands die on the road every year.

Can't enjoy dry weather because crops may fail.

Can't enjoy rain because some may get too much and get flooded - and
crops may fail.

Can't enjoy a blustery day as someone may be injured by falling trees
or masonry - and crops may fail.

Can't enjoy a thunderstorm because someone may be struck by lightning
- and, through hail damage, crops may fail.

Can't enjoy alcohol as some people become addicted and heavy drinkers
live shorter lives than moderate drinkers.

Can't enjoy being teetotal (really?) because teetotallers live shorter
lives than moderate drinkers.


Can't win.

Jim, I appreciate how deadly snow can be on humans or animals. I see
that it can be devastating, on farmers and families. I feel for anyone
that loses their livihood, or close family member.

I don;t know if you noticed I but a winking face at the end of my
message to Jim of Northampton. I saw that he was a ranting snow hater,
and wanted to play him up.

I don;t like snow, however, has with anyone that rants I want to play

Sincere apologies Joe I was overly harsh. Looking at the dead bodies of
sheep piled up outside the house tends to focus one's mind on the '
merits ' of snow.

And exactly what difference does it make? Will the farmer be happier for
knowing that the whole country were united behind his futile hope for
fairer weather?

Would a single animal be saved if only people would stop looking forward
to some snow?




Go away and moan about the council, half wit.

That's a laugh in itself.
Farmers are the biggest moaners going.
Always too hot/dry/wet/cold or the supermarkets are shafting them.

Yes, I do. I'm sorry that, for some reason, you are not able to see the
connection between what Adam wrote and my reply.


By the way, the '--' before your sig needs a space after it.

Jim, no-one, but no-one, is deriving any pleasure at all from
you sheep being suffocated by snow. I agree entirely that that
would be totally wrong, and like everyone else on this news
group, my heartfelt sympathy goes to the livestock caught in
this year's 'lambing storms', and the farmers involved. I can
try to understand the despair that must be causing, and must
have caused for centuries when similar 'freak' weather has
occurred.

But Col is right; snow in the right place and in the right
quantity is one of the beauties of nature, and it is possible to
enjoy seeing it, or walking in it, or skiing over it, or
photographing it, without wishing ill on sheep farmers.

Graham is right too with his list of analogies. Enjoying
something is a very long way from wishing anyone else harm by
the agency of it.
