Get this:

Two hundred flights from Heathrow were cancelled and Gatwick, Stansted, Luton and Birmingham airports were also hit.

How much did that cost the UK?

Bunch of fuckwits, every freaking year. So you can’t fly to New York or say Canada, Russia, Sweden, Lapland etc.? I’ve landed in NY in the middle of a snow storm, they just have loads of ploughs keeping the runways open.

Hmm, but I suppose the staff have to get to the airport too:

Many routes in the Midlands and the south of England were turned into ice rinks on Wednesday evening, causing lengthy delays for travellers.

Heard of salt?

For a country that is supposed to be obsessed with the weather, we don’t prepare for it. Unlike this guy:

The adventurer regularly carries a sleeping bag, a flask of hot, sweet tea and a spade in his car when winter conditions are forecast.

Ahh, I was reminded of a joke here. Er, but it’s racist, so not going to write it here.

We are seeing delays today with reports - is our database affected
by the wrong kind of snow?
