Mind you, I have to say I'm very impressed the way the Americans dealt with this incredible snow fall. The snow fell one day and In New York they had the roads cleared and the City up and running in one day... incredible. I take my hat off to the road services and team work... the New yorker's just got on with it, and sorted it out... team work.
Had this happen here in England the country would still be at a stand still...
. if someone leaves a freezer door open Heathrow Airport would be closed for 2 weeks.... It would seem us Brits are prepared for nothing we wait till an accident happens or something to breakdown instead of trying to prevent it form happening... Workmen come to your house to fix something and don't have the correct tools or parts for the job. nothing gets repaired in this country a street light has been out for 6,months in our village and this is just changing a bulb... most likely take 5 workmen to do it,,,, along with a load of safety people.
In our local train station a ticket machine has been out of order now for almost a month it is Laughable... or pathetic.
as we know all the stories regarding why trains are late... the wrong type of Snow on the track or the wrong type of leaves... we can't even run train on time.
In India the trains have no glass in the windows, there are chickens and larma's running around inside the carriage,,, they are falling apart, it is a poor county... but the trains still run on time....
Shops never seem to have what you want in stock, you have to wait 3,months to get sofa made... What? has happened too this once great country called England...
We make excuses for bad workmanship and bad services.
