I'm not prejudiced. I hate everybody equally.

Bloody insult. I don't drink shandy, I drink lager tops!
I laughed at that program last night. Do you remember Brass Eye? It
reminded me of that, with it's "shock horror it's snowing what a
disaster" slant on everything.
What a load of utter bollocks. I live down South. I got to work ok.
Oh, but I'm a Northerner, so the snow doesn't really bother me. I
didn't come to work yesterday but that's only because I rang up to say
I was going to be late and they told me not to bother. So I dug the
car out, made sure I got in today. Hardly any of my colleagues have
bothered - only ones who live very local to the office.

That's more indicative of "The BBC" than "Southerners".

It's not a North-South thing - it's SE-centric. The SW is left out quite
often too.

I don't know that this is true.
We (SE) have been hearing about the difficulties in northern England and
Scotland for all of those two weeks or so. We didn't complain, as far as I know.
It's that old 'Northern complex'.

Don't know about anyone else but shandy make me giggle ... and I drink it
straight no no lemonade from asda.

Much about the SW?
I have relatives there, so I keep a particular eye on the SW weather.
To be fair, I think there is about a zillion times more snow in badly
affected parts of Scotland than there is in the SE.
Where I live, the first snow fell before christmas. A wee bit more
falls every day and it hasn't melted since then. I haven't driven on a
slush/snow free road for weeks, and it hasn't been bad here compared to
some places.

Indeed. A couple of days before the snow started here the news was full of
reports of people in Northern England getting stuck in their cars and
generally having a whinge.

But you don't have incovenient things like hills in your part of the
country (E Yorks)
Ever been to East Yorks? Bits of it are indeed very flat, but there
are some brutal very exposed hills and loads of narrow lanes that
never ever get gritted.
