Walking in a Winter Wonderland.....

[Itsallaguess]

Harruumphhh...

We're definitely on the wrong side of Bonfire Night it we've started to see the 'Winter Wonderland is a shambles and a rip-off' stories starting to emerge....

It amazes me that these things are as popular as they still seem to be, given the years of highly vocal disappointments in the UK press from the General Public. It seems that you can toss a few Christmas Trees and some fake snow in a field and people will throw money at you whilst they're standing neck deep in a curious mix of mud and deep, deep regret....

Someone wake me up when it's spring!

Whilst yet again the worst winter on record is expected, just like every winter passed.
Does anyone actually know if it will snow?

It's snowed already in Shropshire. Friend lives up the Clee hills- they've got quite a lot.

For the record, here are the Daily Express warnings of KILLER FREEZE for the last 5 years when it, er, hasn't happened.

Of course they only have to get it right once, to say "I told you so".
