Apart from that, wonderful place.
It's been a while since you did this.

On snow, I think the argument goes that it isn't really cost-effective for this country to be properly geared up for snow, as we don't have enough heavy snow to justify the investment. In other countries they know there will always be heavy snow, so it is worth being prepared for it.

I'm not sure we pay over the odds for everything, either. Housing is mental, certainly.
