  Reading this forum and elsewhere people's attitude to the wintry conditions vary.I recall a few years back being at DDC looked out of the window. to see a blizzard.I managed to get a taxi to the three cups did not go for a drink I might add .The taxi driver felt he would get stuck if he ventured into River.I then walked home along Lewisham Road to Chilton Way.I was about seventy.thought nothing of it.Now No one seems to care about their neighboursHere In Sanctuary Close because of the hill and the the land lies low we get black ice..Luckily my younger son says he will pop round and put some salt down .We have these salt bins around the village but half the time no one bothers to use them .I wish I was able to get out and help but age has caught up with me.
  The same about getting to work ,Im pleased my Grand daughter was able to get tp William Harvey where she is a nurse.
  In my younger days I was a telephonist and I recall getting the train from Slough to Iver where I worked.I had to walk nearly a mile to get to the exchange in snow drifts .If you did not go to work people could not use their phones.
  I also had to help my dad when I was a child deliver milk .everyone expected their milk.
  We were brought up tough.So now it makes me sad that a lot of people donot enquire how their neighbours are.
