No need to apologise Ian.
As someone with elderly parents I can see the problems the snow can bring. My dad who lives in Cornwall will run out of his medication in 2 days time, there is little I can do about it, luckily he has good mates and although very independant, he has assured me that he will ask for help tomorrow.
Also as a primary school teacher who has just had 2 weeks off school I am bored and I want to get back to it, I know...I am sad! but I'm worrying about the lessons the children are missing and the fact we will have to catch up.
But on a positive note, I walked into school Tuesday morning and seeing all of the children playing, laughing and having a brilliant time gave me a warm glow.
Thanks again for all of your input in the southwest thread. Now get some sleep man! I feel you will need to be well rested before Sunday hits us.
