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

- P.

I also give you that our new President mocked the hell out of DC for shutting down due to four inches of snow...and then the inches of ICE on top of that...

Didn't one of his daughters make some comment about how "in Chicago we'd still have had recess" or something?

Oh, I heard that, too - was it about London or DC? Adorably snarky, either way. I approve. *g*

I assumed DC but who knows.

(I...can't remember EVER having recess cancelled in Chicago unless school was also cancelled. All I remember was that in elementary school if you didn't have snow pants and there was a lot of snow you had to stay on the plowed blacktop during recess. I do vaguely remember indoor recesses if it was raining really hard because they didn't want us leaving puddles everywhere when we came back in)
