The fuss and feather ruffling that a teeny weeny amount of snow causes is incredible. I mean, Snow! In February! What is the world coming to? Apart from the hysteria in the media making out they have never seen snow before and reporting disasters which havn't even happened yet, the other infuriating thing is the attitude of teachers. The slightest snow falls, they shut the schools so they can go and put their feet up. Last year the school shut on a day I managed perfectly well to drive to a site 25 miles away, carry out a survey and return. All the parents complained, and the teachers just spouted that pathetic and parrot like excuse 'Health and Safety!' Makes me want to scream. I'll probably vent my spleen on my blog instead.
