Funny, we had far worse winters than this when I was a kid, and the post got delivered, trains and buses ran, and life went on without a whiff or hint of the elf and safety brigade putting the frighteners on everyone.

I trudged up to my local delivery office in the snow (a mile away), and demanded my mail which I hadn't received for a week because the poor ickle posties couldn't venture out in the snow in case they fell over. How about the Post Office just issuing them with some strong wellie boots and a large spoonful of common sense so they can do the job they've been paid to do and deliver the parcels and mail that people have paid good money to have delivered?
