'Snow Go Bingo'

Ok then. It’s December. We live in Britain. And yes, it’s snowing. Is this a complete shock?

It would be good to report on some original stories, but I’m afraid I can’t.

Instead I would like to invite you to a game of ‘Snow Go Bingo’ to see if you recognise any of the following:

• ‘Well, the local council didn’t get the gritters out early enough’
• ‘I bet the traffic and businesses don’t come to a standstill in Germany’
• ‘My kid’s local school is closed but nobody told me’
• ‘As it’s now snowing on the M25, the weather is the lead story on the national TV news – we’ve (in the North East) had six inches for a week’
• ‘This type of snow means that we can’t possibly run Eurostar’

Along with the above, spot the following images and / or stories:
• ‘Child being pulled to school on sledge’
• ‘Workers sleeping overnight at office’
• ‘Neighbourhood hero delivers shopping for older neighbours’
• ‘Farmer struggling to feed his / her animals’
• ‘Traffic at standstill on the main roads’.

Have you got a full house? If yes, well done.

I look forward another game of ‘Snow Go Bingo’ during the next cold snap.
