Every year...

Dear British media:

You know you shouldn't make reports after you've had a couple of drinks - it makes you talk nonsense, like telling the world we don't know how to use ice-scrapers, ffs, as if the majority of the country didn't experience weather like that practically every winter. Everyone north of the M25 says "Hi," by the way.

Please. It's embarrassing. We all know it'll only take a few more before you're dancing on tables and showing everyone your knickers. Just... take it easy on the vodka and Red Bull, that's all I ask.

Thanks,

- P.

Dear London Transport,

See, it goes like this:

- Spring: rain
- Summer: hot temperatures
- Autumn: rain and leaves
- Winter: snow and ice

Sometimes there are extremes of these things, so please try to bear that in mind when building train tracks, buying new buses, planning the logistics for road travel, etc.

Thanks,

- P.

Dear rest of world,

Oh, like you've never done anything embarrassing.

:P

Oh, you mean like my county, where, the one day all last year when it was icy and foggy, they didn't bother de-icing the roads?

Geniuses... 'm just saying. :-(

We don't have it so much with snow - but storms. Man, you should see the news networks get all worked up... if and when the storm reaches the capital. The rest of the country - who cares.

In... 1999, I guess, we had a big storm. Big! In Copenhagen, they had roof-tiles blow off and trees blow down... and that was pretty much it. Whereas there were parts of the country where people had no electricity for 3-5 days. That was largely ignored, because 'oh my God, it's windy in Copenhagen!'

Meh. Best thing about it was, they waylaid a guy from the Faroe Islands. The reporter talking to him was all worked up about how much it stormed, and was clearly trying to get some agitated agreement out of this guy. Only thing he got out of him was a smile and a stoic comment that: 'This? This is a breeze.' Cue sheepish looking reporter. LOL
