Am I the only one to have noticed the weather? I've been shivering and slithering around all week and marvelling at this fluffy white stuff falling from the sky.
Despite this, people are dragging themselves to work as normal on punctual trains and buses, or driving with commendable care on clear roads. It's business as usual for the London Underground and the Channel Tunnel, but then it doesn't snow underground. We aren't even the laughing stock of Europe because our airports grind to a halt on account of a wintry squall that would barely deter a Swede from mowing his lawn.
Incredibly, there hasn't been a whisper of this meteorological mayhem on the news. Where is the hysterical, saturation coverage we're entitled to? The endlessly funny footage of Londoners failing to understand this strange new world in white and driving - and indeed walking - like lemons? The shock-horror exclusives revealing that snow is white or can turn into ice? The predictions of another 3cm with north-easterly gusts uttered in tones once reserved for a massive Soviet ICBM launch?
Why oh why oh why is everyone being so calm about this Siberian nightmare? I think I'll email BBC Breakfast and complain about their sidelining the piffling weather and focussing on trivial things like war and the future of humankind.
