The British And Adversity

I know we have quite a few British folks who drop by. How do you feel about this characterization?

Having not been able to get to the office all week due to a bit of snow, I would say that it is pretty much accurate laugh

A little bit of snow does seem to effect us more than it does other countries.

Stoic about everything but snow. Probably a good trade.

I think it's that Brits have never properly learn't to deal with it. We could learn a lot from Scandinavian countries where they have the infrastructure and equipment to deal with heavy snow and life seems to go on regardless of it.

SouthEast United States is the same way...we had two inches last year and roads were closed and schools were shut down for three days.
