I have the DVD, which is pretty entertaining. I'm still trying to imagine the government seriously believing that people would watch calmly as they showed ads explaining how to bag up your dead relatives and leave them outside for the post-apocalyptic bin men.
Wonder if they'd do a weekly pickup or whether you'd have to wait a fortnight?

Mustard on just about anything.
Proof that Hell does freeze over.

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!!!

? 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.

It doesn't have to be hard work here though. You either:
a) park vehicle in heated double garage, enter garage through door from house get in, open auto garage door with remote, start vehicle and drive, or
b) Lean out of front door and start vehicle with remote starter, let vehicle warm up for 10 minutes then jump in and squirt windscreen with -40 degree washer fluid (yes it really works) and off you go all nice and toasty (that word belongs in another thread)

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.

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