    Heroes and villains

    As ever at times of ‘crisis’ - and this winter weather does for once fall into that category for some - we see genuine unsung heroism from members of the general public. So to all those NHS staff who have walked to work and slept on site, to the gritting crews, the business people stuck overnight on motorways and those supplying hot drinks to the stranded...thanks, you are a credit to yourselves and your country.
    To Boris Johnson, trying (and failing) to look heroic going for a body guard accompanied run in the snow wearing his ridiculous shorts and those who sanctioned a truck full of grit to Downing Street yesterday when there was approximately one millimetre of patchy snow cover...get a life and *** off.

    I'm starting a Trickyfundfordeprived.

    Get Jeremy some new clothes. This poor man obviously has nothing to wear but the same out fit day in day out.

    Pray for Jeremy.

    This is immediately what sprung to mind on seeing thread title:

    A long way back, I used to deliver for dominos pizza, and people were so ungrateful in these conditions, and had the audacity to complain that delivery was late. They even tried to claim that pizzas arrived cold (never the case if packed properly, they're transported on hot plates). Anything to try and get a reduced pizza. Bar stewards.

    Didn't help that my Fiesta had a bent door where someone tried to break in, so the snow came straight through on certain bends!

    Once we leave the EU then we wont have all this nasty European weather, such as snow and heatwaves. Brexit cannot come too soon. Mind you post Brexit we wont have any NHS staff to walk heroically through the snow anyway.

    All the African and Asian doctors will have to return to warmer Poland and Germany I suppose.

    I suspect most of them qualify as British

    Kudos to those who battled in to work in the NHS and other industries.

    Kudos also to those who chose not to battle some nasty conditions and stay home. They ensured that there would be less accidents and all of the natural consequences of those accidents.

    Better 30 minutes (or a day or whatever) late in this world than 40 years too soon in the next.

    Really stupid ****ers.
    Why must they break down the door?
    Haven't they realised one could simply smash the Windows and grab the pizzas?
