That's the consolation you need in those circumstances!

And it’s people like you that cause the most problems in situations like this….going out for a gig is NOT life or death for god sake

@@hmmmmm2634 If the weather is bad, do you dodge work? Do you get paid if you do? Are you a trained and experienced paramedic? Do you carry a First Responders kit at all times? Do you have internal and rooftop strobes fitted to your car/van, legally? Do you carry two types of fire extinguishers, large size? Do you carry two warning triangles? Do you carry tripod mounted strobe lights to place in the road? Do you carry, in the weather above, a snow shovel, wear the proper clothes and footwear for the conditions? Do you carry blankets and foil thermal blankets? Do you carry shake and throw Snap lights in Red, yellow and green? Are you an experienced mountaineer, who was a member of an MRT, and was the medic for that Team? Do you carry a Thermos flask, plus extra water and a water heater, plus extra cups? I fully expect the answers to all of those questions is NO! You are not even a trained First Aider, don't carry a first aid kit, as required by law, don't carry a warning triangle, and certainly ever carry spare Hi-Viz for any victims. By the way, GOD is capital letters. The phrase "For GOD'S sake"! is correctly typed as I have it here. I have driven ambulances in blizzard and deep snow conditions, on Blues and Two's. Don't judge others by your own miserable townies standards, scared to go out in a shower of rain. And you, clearly, have never worked self-employed. WTF, do you think PROFESSIONAL means? Cretinous ORC.

Same ...Brighton mid to late 80s. Staying with my father in Hove.

I have to say that where once I found I could leave the TV on one of the main rolling news channels,mostly BBC News,in the last seven or eight years it almost always seems to be a matter of time before something comes on that makes me think "oh,sod off!" and change the channel to get away from them. On commercial news channels that's more often than not certain adverts. I suppose it ensures that I regularly view news coverage from a minimum of five different channels,some more than others.

yeah me mothers mum had to burn the house down to keep warm then run off with the coal man, old gin bottle she was. god bless her.

I won't forget it. Three feet of snow and 15-foot drifts buried my entire town. Awesome whiteouts and sledging has never been better. Plus seeing ice packs flow down the Thames was surreal.

jesus you must be knocking on a bit i was just leaving school?

I went arce over tit on my bicycle riding in the snow then I hit the road , with no snow! That’s when I learned what black ice was, slid into a snow drift

What were you doing with I a lighter? at such a young age?

We already know that global warming is taking place but they can't stop themselves laying the doomsday cult stuff on with a shovel on every report,can they?

They just love running those extreme scare ones,don't they?

Heaven knows some were miserable now!

@PRO PAINTER PRO DEC: Yes it can freeze, but unlike Freshwater it freezes at lower temperatures. Fresh Water at 32 degrees F. and Salt Water ie the Sea at 28.4 degrees F.

Yes,it did in the infamous winter freeze of 1962-63!

@@rjjcms1 He said every 20 years but ive never known it to freeze?

@@CARLIN4737 Neither have I in my lifetime. People from the generation older than me told me things about the winter of 1962-63.

Outside of London the South East can be very cold in the winter due to the proximity to the continental landmass. London would be colder than it is but for the urban heat island.
