This week’s snowy weather always brings out the best and worst in human nature. From those that take such adversity in their stride to the people for whom every challenge is the most arduous ordeal.
Obviously the growth of instant communication makes commenting on all means of situations a full scale reality. However, I never cease to be amazed how the blamers of society will criticise and carp, have fool-proof solutions but never put themselves forward to positions where they could actually influence or control.
The poor Highways Agency get it in the neck because the gritting is not right, done early enough, done enough of, etc. As opposed to the idiots who set out on a journey unprepared, unaware how to adapt driving style for the conditions or the fact that UK does not need winter tyres on its cars.
For the property managers, if we grit or salt paths and roads and someone slips they want to make a claim; if we do not clear the paths in an estate, they moan. The stupidity of ‘blame culture’ is that doing nothing still leaves you open to a claim.
So, as we head full pelt into the “Day After Tomorrow,” I would recommend for each and every one of us to reflect on our needs and those of others. Try and look for the good and celebrate each other.
It is too easy to stand on the side lines criticising rather than being constructive and solving problems. Oh and the Vulture Claim Lawyers do not help, either!
