If this is true, someone wants sacking. Apparently a council locked up their parks because the snow made them too dangerous.

I can sympathise with the council to be honest, the last thing they want on a day when the roads are bad and accidents are highly likely is fuck tonnes of kids slipping over and needing more ambulances.
Call me a bore, but it makes sense to me.

But they can go play in the park? The parks are probably next to the schools as well.
Too right the council should close them.
Bloody kids these days. A little flake of snow and they can't go to school? In my day it snowed every day and we still had to go in. Somedays the snow was over 50m high and we still got there. We didn't even have shoes. There were no parks in those days either, we had to make do with a hoop and a stick.

you were a posh 'un, we didn't even have bricks on our house, it were made of cardboard. And that were for 6 families.

We used to gather round, all eighteen of us, and huddle together everynight for warmth in an old soiled boot in the middle of the road. Then every morning, we'd wake up at four, go down the mines, get back at quarter to four the next morning, have three minutes sleep, then our father would beat us to death with a sponge then dance on our graves. And that was when we were lucky...

“Our priority is caring for vulnerable residents and making the roads safe. We simply could not take someone off those duties to open the parks."
Perhaps the park keepers couldn't get in to open the gates - leaving the one person who did manage to get in having to manage the gritting and everything else too.
I MAKED A SNOWKITTEH IN TEH PARK IT WAS LULLEH.
