British people annoy me

I am really really really fed up of people moaning about Britain being the only country to suffer with snow. I was at a bus stop the other day and a woman was telling me about how the rest of Europe was fine and functioning as normal in the weather. The reason this angered me was because I happened to be standing in the bus stop with a few friends who had that day come over from the Nederlands and they said it was the same over there and Germany too. I hate it when people make up there minds about something like this and tell anyone who will listen that their opinion is fact, when it blatantley isn't, 5 seconds of searching and I found this article that PROVES the bogus reporting. http://www.dutchnews.nl/news/archives/2009/12/snow_causes_traffic_problems_i.php Imagine my surprise when the news channels (in the uk) also do all that they can to sensationalise the whole situation, for example a woman was reporting infront of a massive 6ft snow drift by the side of the road, however as the report wrapped up the camera did a 360 view and (a)where she was standing was the only area that still had snow and (b)the 6ft snow drift had been man made by people clearing the road of snow and dumping it all in one place. Why can't people be honest!
