Quote: Big Dave T "Your missing my point mate. We might have had the worst snow in 18 years, im not disagreeing with that. What i am saying is that we dont cope with snow full stop. I drive to York every day for work and on numerous occasions per year we have snow. Each and every time we have snow be it 3 inches or 18 inches etc we struggle as a country to deal with it. We know its going to come dont we. (in some form or other)
Same as the heat as i mentioned earlier leading to hose pipe bans etc. We know we are going to get some heat at some point, we just fail to cope with it then either.'"
I dealt with the point about normal snowfall in the second part of my reply. I agree that we should cope better, but in fact we are nowhere near as pathetic as the media would like you to believe.
We may have snow every year, but how many days per year does it cause a problem? One or two? How much extra cash is that worth?
The heat is different issue. The problems with water shortages are due to too many people and not enough rain (don't laugh). Compared to our population we have a shortage of rainfall, particularly on the east side of the country. Solutions for that problem are vastly expensive and long term.
