There's Plenty Of Snow In London - London, Ontario

The Police are getting strict about people not clearing the snow off the tops of their cars. They have been stopping drivers and issuing them with a ticket, a £60 fine and 3 penalty points. "A number of forces have dismissed as an urban myth claims that they were dishing out fines," wrote Robin Perrie in yesterday's Sun. Obviously our Police force were not amongst these.

A driver was being ticketed as I drove past. The Policeman, however missed the driver who had cleared two circles in his car windscreen of no more than the size of bottle tops. He was squinting through them like a submarine commander in a war film. He also missed the bus with two feet of snow on top of its roof.

To put things into perspective, look at what's happening in London, Ontario:-

They say the snow in North America often arrives over her one week later. So there's plenty to look forward to.
