Snow business
On a day when a small flurry of snow brought chaos to most of the UK, and notably the South East, one has to look for small pleasures. My amuse-bouche du jour arrived in the form of a quote from our capital’s Lord Mayor. Not one red (or bendy) bus was used in anger today.
Parodying British Rail excuses from days of yore (when us Northerners dug ourselves out of a snow drift most Januaries just to escape our beds) and sporting a cheeky smirk, Boris Johnson reflected on how well Londoners had faced up to the snow. “This is the right kind of snow, it’s just the wrong kind of quantities”.
Ever said that about a bottle of wine – red or bendy?

Thats a light dusting you have there. We had around 10 inches.

Manchester seems to be the one place in the country that has remained almost totally snow free. And for once it is not raining either!
