[Margaret Pilkington]

You see, you got it right........the pavements are not like lumpy ice rinks where even young folk could break an ankle...or a neck, the roads are ploughed and kept free of snow.......you are not stopped from doing the stuff that needs doing each day....you may be slowed down a bit, but things still run........and that is the diffrence.

Here we are being told not to travel, there is no grit for anything other than main arterial routes(and pretty soon that may be used up)......we are held to ransome over the price of fuel to heat our homes......commerce grinds to a halt. It is no fun believe me.
All I can be gratful for, is that I no longer have to haul my sorry ass out of bed at some ungodly hour,scrape the snow off the windscreen and try my best to get to Queens Park Hospital for a shift of duty.........Amen to all that!
