I remember in my youth at school that when it snowed we were allowed out into the playing fields to throw snowballs at each other. Rather than the school playground. The Deputy Headmaster (Slinky, as we knew him) would stand in the middle to make sure it didn't get too violent. He was just a target then. Whenever he faced one way, those behind him would bombard him with snowballs. When he turned round in the hope of catching someone then the other lot would bombard him. Now, I don't think they are even allowed out into the playground. I can slightly accept this today as it is mostly slushy there now - but they playing fields aren't. Health and Safety gone mad. Or is it Political Correctness? The same stupid rules that prevent people from playing conkers. I'd hate to be a child growing up today. Apart from the fact they remove your brain at 12 years old - judging from some of the neanderthals that wander the streets. Annnnnnnnnnnnnnd - they don't even get the same amount of snow. When we were young it would be up to your knees. It would snow for weeks on end. The snow would constantly be replenished. Instead, it snows for a day. Then thaws out the next day. What use is that?
