    I'm not Irish either, we were just experiencing the same bizarre weather conditions. (Plus I pretty much live on the opposite side of the Irish Sea to Cuchculan at the moment.)

    We can have the thread on "whining about weather" or "bizarre weather conditions for where we live".

    Is just about crap weather. Lot of storms here and were Otherside is living. Snow storms mainly. Odd bit of looting. People stock piling and shops running out of food.

    The stock piling food thing I will never understand.

    Small bit of snow and its "Oh my god we're all going to die were going to be snowed in and we won't be able to get food and we'll all starve to death! Ahhhhh!"

    So we run out of bread because everyone goes to the shop and buys twelve loaves each.

    We are simply not used to it. People let it get to their heads. They got into a panic. Like wild savages. We done none of that in this house and we still had enough food.

    As for the looters? First time ever seen in this country. Mind you the area is a kip.

    Didn't go hording here either. Still alive, had enough food to last however long. Mind you, I'm only feeding myself.

    Agree though to the not used to it thing. I have to explain this to a few people. Whilst it is humourous that Norway has it all it all the time and copes, the reality is that they have the infrastructure to deal with it. No way would we ever invest in snow-ploughs and snow-tires to be used once every few years at the most when snow decides to fall every now and then.

    Heard about the lidl incident here. Some people.

    Know why we have no snow ploughs? Our drains are not like other countries. Look at the US. Their drains are built into the side of the kerb. We have like things on the road. That would catch the ploughing thing. They could only plough the middle of the road. Which they did do over here. Can't go near the edges. Because of the drains.

    People amaze me. Like the world was ending. This big mad rush to get all the food they could get their hands on. I saw no point in doing what they were doing. Plus it was warmer in the house. Have relatives in Canada. They get it bad too. To them, what we got, was nothing. They can go down to minus 20 and above. We moan at minus 1. Once every six or so years. Have we got any reason to really moan?
