I have to say that it's been a very good week despite all the doom and gloom about the economic downturn and the UK almost coming to a standstill because of the snow!
But why we can't cope with it here amazes me. And it now seems as if we're running out of salt for the roads too! So what's it all about? Why on earth do we Brits put up with all the bad service we get from our so called leaders! Other countries cope with and plan for bad weather conditions, so why don't we?
The Scandinavian and other N.Eastern countries manage, as do Iceland, Canada, Alaska and many others worldwide. They get one harsh winter after another, not just the odd few days like us. We get 2 or 3 days and the whole country almost comes to a halt! I don't know why we can't take a leaf out of their books - and be better prepared. I suppose it's all down to money somewhere along the line, but it's really maddening, especially when people's lives are at stake.
Well that's my bee out of my bonnet - lol - thank goodness for working from home and not having to struggle through to a J O B!
Several good things have happened this week; new members in the brilliant elottery, and members of the birthday club (BBC) getting some nice cash presents - roll on July when it's my turn.
The BBC (No, not the telly lot), has snowballed and is rocketing around the internet, so if you havn't joined yet, don't delay - it would be a shame to miss out.
Well that's enough of today's mutterings, so let's look forward to another good weekend.
Cheers
Thought For The Day:
If you're not grateful for the good things that you already have, then you won't be happy with what you are also wishing for!
