Ah yes, accusing those you don't agree with of being 'shallow'.
Everybody here understands why you loathe snow, I'd be the same
in you situation. So why can't you understand why others might like it?

To a degree I understand your point, could we agree to differ and leave
it
at that please ? Making enemies is not for me in day to day life,
neither
do I wish to do it on the web.
.

Oh I see, the one who started all this by showering the accusations
around,
whilst other have been understanding, is now wanting not to make enemies??

Unbelievable.

Given what Jim's been through with his sheep, I think it's
understandable that he made some intemperate remarks. I believe that we
should accept his olive branch.

Well OK, but everybody here was very understanding over the matter
it was Jim who was rude & abrasive to the point of agression and
refusing to see anyone elses' point of view.
That said, it's obviously been a stressful and very upsetting time for him
and as you say, understandable he didn't come across too well.

So yes, time for an end to this I think.

Thanks John, I must however make it clear I'm not a farmer. I live in
sheep country, have hill farmers in my family my brother, and am good
friends with the hill farmer who operates round the house. Our place has
the nearest hill track to a road, therefore my pal was bringing the
carcasses down to the track for collection to be taken away.

Seeing the dead creatures piled up was a sobering sight, as is looking
at the surrounding hills and seeing a handful of sheep when only ten
days ago there were hundreds. Without government help I can see most of
the small sheep farmers going under. Our government is typical of the
right wing, myopic and nasty. Anything to help the rich avoid tax but
providing aid to the less fortunate always seems beyond it's reach.

Other than pointing out that urban snow lovers don't have a clue about
the real problems, and tragedy, heavy snowfall can bring. What
accusations have I ' showered around ' exactly ?
