Me, i'll be putting on a decent jacket and a hat with a pair of gloves like I've always done rather than fly into a mad panic and make for the hills.
I often wonder how other countries view us after seeing the mad hysteria we get into with a bit of snow or some wind?

Seriously, Tesco ran out of Danish bread tonight due to the frenzy caused by the media. I had to do with some other expensive make of Danish. Aldi didn't have enough on its shelves either.

What do you expect when the media are causing a frenzy with their Apocalyptic headlines.

Because quite simply it's all lies designed to do nothing more than scare people and as a fully signed up active member of Hacked Off I enjoy pointing out what scum the press are for the most part and they rarely let me down! The Express's obsession with the weather is one of the more trivial travesties they indulge in so at least we can laugh at them a bit along the way! I guess it beats hacking dead girl's phones and driving people to suicide!
Please don't start defending the Express. I can just about take your love affair with the mainstream politicians, but this lot are in a different league altogether.
You know what, I really cannot understand why you feel the need to take the opposite view of whatever anyone says in here. I swear if someone said the sky was blue you'd pop up and try and tell us all it's green.... very odd

You've just had your usual comprehension malfunction

Dare I ask why you keep reading the Express bearing in mind your previous comments.
For the record I don't read that particular publication so I'm not going to defend it in any shape or form.

I don't, the front pages of all the papers are on the front page of the BBC news site which is where I started noticing this trend. As said it amuses me as it is one of the more trivial travesties the scum that are the majority of the British press get up to. As a Hacked Off supporter I like to keep an eye on what untruths they are peddling from day to day seeing as Cameron has failed to regulate them as he promised he would!

I think you're all sort of missing the point. It's winter and there are storms like there are every winter, but it is the Express's obsession with the weather and the mixture of over exaggeration of a genuine forecast with the frankly looney forecasts from their in house meteorological marvel all of which get splattered across the front page every other day that makes me laugh/cry! It's not news, it's sensationalist nonsense!
