I love the English approach to weather. All this week, the Met Office has been dispensing dire warnings about imminent storms. Lock up your daughters, hurricanes are a-coming. We're all going to die. Etc, etc, etc.
Well, the storm hit last night and the night before. As you can see, the damage is horrendous. Insurers will go bankrupt. Lives will be forever blighted.
Readers in the Americas, Asia, in fact any part of the world that has 'proper' weather may stop laughing now.
Come spend some time in England when we get our annual Weekend Of Minor Snowfall. For every quarter inch that falls, the more hysterical the media get...
