Dave.
I think its all to do with the claim culture we live in today, however you never see factories closed when theres a frost. Too much PROFIT lost if that were to happen. "Dave.C" wrote in message . uk... I'll start the ball rolling. Heard from a Headteacher from the south on Radio 5 Live this afternoon:- "The toilets might freeze" Let's hope he doesn't teach physics! Presumably the toilets are outside and they haven't heard of insulation. Even if it had been -10 every night this week that still wouldn't have happened! Doh! Dave |

In 1995, we just carried on ALL DAY through some 12 inch(!) snowDRIFTS,
and even just some ELEVEN months later, in November, 1996, with just a roundabout 10 inches of snow, we all just carried on AS PER NORMAL!:-o :-( It's pathetic. It truly is pathetic. Some Siberian Slavs have to live ALL year round under PERMAFROST CONDITIONS, and yet they still managed to get educated. So much so, in fact, and here is an interesting fact for you all, the man who invented the space rocked WAS a Siberian Russian PEASANT!:-o :-) Now who says that socialism doesn't work? D. |

I still remember how disappointed I was on waking up on the Sunday morning to find that the forecast spread of the snow into the SE of England had not in fact occurred. -- John Hall "If a man will begin with certainties, he shall end in doubts; but if he will be content to begin with doubts, he shall end in certainties." Francis Bacon (1561-1626) |
