RAC man trapped in snow

If he walked to the top of the hill "to keep in touch with the police", he could have walked down to the nearest farmhouse / village / village pub and spent the night in comfort. Complete waste resources to rescue a fit, healthy man from a bit of snow. Walking to the 'nearest' farmhouse / village / pub in a blizzard is one of the worst things you can do! Repeatedly walking to the top of the hill was foolhardy as well, once he'd contacted the authorities. |

See http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/n...re/4293141.stm However, here in Coventry, there has only been some light over night scattering of snow which melts around 10 am. The BBC & Met office really do need to get their act together in producing more accurate forecasts and less scaremongering. Pete An RAF Leconfield rescue helicopter flew directly over the house here extremely low just after midnight, wondered where he was going. -- David Mitchell, 70m amsl, Langtoft, East Riding of Yorkshire. |

"Peter Ashby" wrote in message ... I remember when I was young that the summer lasted at least 10 weeks, hot weather 80 degrees+ Winter always had deep snow for weeks, snowmen, sledging etc. What has changed, the weather or my memory ? Pete It's due to the selective memory phenomenon. "Peter Ashby" wrote in message ...
