But you think all 60 million of us should just stay in bed whenever it
happens. So - if we have a cold snap, the entire country should just hide
under the duvet for a few weeks. To do otherwise would be dangerous.
Because we're not "set up for winter weather" and can't "cope with it".

Good job we truckers don't take that attitude. Strange that despite all
the obvious disadvantages we have in snow and ice we seem to cope
better. Maybe that's because it's more of a "Just have to be a bit more
careful" attitude than the "Oh my god, there's 1/2" of snow...I can't
cope. I'll have to abandon my car and sleep in the local sports hall."
