I have to laugh when watching the supposedly BRITISH national news, with guys barely up to their ankles in snow implying that Ragnarok is upon us, yet on the same day, when trees are being blown down and main roads being blocked by snow in Scotland, it doesn't seem to be noteworthy. Scotland routinely gets ignored on the "national" news, and even people from the north of England were complaining about the fuss made by the southern oriented news. Tourists appear to be amazed that things are falling apart because of something like this. My mother had a very good giggle at the reporters live in Trafalgar Square in a couple of inches of snow, or beside a main road, barely ankle deep.194.106.220.19  Lance Tyrell
