Wonder if they'd do a weekly pickup or whether you'd have to wait a fortnight?
Garbage, recycling or compost?

OMG, it's armageddon!!!
My local shop has employed security to stop customers fighting over the goods! Apparently people were falling over each other to get to the tinned food!!!

This is crazy !!!! How do you guys cope with snow like that ? Do you still have to go to work ? We are struggling with a few inches, but if that kind of snow came our way the UK would grind to a halt.

Aaaah but who clears your driveway?

Aah yes but if this weather was a regular yearly occurrence then the UK would also be able to cope with it due to increased funding and experience for all involved.

Likewise, many in Quebec would struggle if they had to endure prolonged (months) temperatures of around ~48c such as Abu Dhabi.

Different countries, different climate, different experiences, different expectations in weather, different direction in investments from the public and counclis/governments etc.

i remember tomato sauce butties! or lettuce & marmite, and any crisps butty would do.
something else we used to eat which is a south african classic, is grated biltong (beef jerky) butty. if any of you ever visit there, do yourselves a favour and try it.

This is by no means the norm! I have certainly never experienced anything like this, and don't expect i ever will.

Nobody, it's a mess at present although i did sprinkle some ice melt over parts.
I have 2 strapping teenage sons who seem to ignore it and after half hour spent trying to move the recent wet heavy snow i gave up.
