   We've had a winter full of wild and extreme weather with roads, rail, and buses all disrupted multiple times. Same again for tomorrow.
   The local Facebook page is full of folk furious because there never used to be all this disruption, and it's all the fault of people for being wimps and the met office for issuing weather warnings.
   A few folk have mentioned climate change, but they've been shot down in flames.

     @lauravivanco it's the weirdest thing. Roads have been washed away, houses flooded, roads closed because they're under water, trees down across roads and houses, but all the disruption is caused by the weather warnings, rather than the actual weather. "We never used to get weather warnings, and everything used to be fine."

     @CloudyMrs It amazes me how good some people are at drawing the most illogical yet comforting conclusions.
