Re: Why are schools closed because of a bit of snow!

Way out? How am I way out? You went to a girls grammar, was that state? The reason I ask is that if it was rife and state then surely that backs up my point. Then you come back with sweeping generalisations like "rife". Based on what? I am a little bemused that I simply express a point of ...
