So why has the government not said that we should all rush out and stock up on baked beans in case we get snowed in?

There has been a rush on saxa salt sales this morning at Aldi if thats any use? I blame this government for this ridiculous weather. Cameron goes over to the US of A. Next thing they are getting tornadoes. This coalilition isn't working for me.Bring back Labour.The sun always shone under labour.No snow in April when Blair was in power. Or Mrs.Thatch. She would have sorted this freak weather out once & for all. Oh yes.
