With snow now affecting much of the British Isles, I'm sure many people will use the weather as an excuse to have a day off work, stop the kids from going to school and batten down the hatches. As a consequence this means many shops and businesses are forced to close during such weather.
This attitude needs to stop. There are many ways for people to get to work during snow, and much of the time there no need for the bravado and stress that is experienced during in snowy weather. Scandinavian countries have snow for much of the winter months, and they cope fine - so why can't we?
We have experienced bad winters, and snowy weather, for the past three years now; so I am hoping the public are finally getting used to operating in these conditions. Obviously, when conditions are simply too bad to risk going out, it is completely understandable. But most of the time this isn't the case.
