landyman1 Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 not only do I feel sorry for all the public who was going to be attending, I also fell sorry for all the venders who will be losing a days trading as events like this are not cheap to attend. let hope the weather forcast is right after all this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haddy Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 So hardly any snow and a wasted trip down. Not happy but I bet the traders are even more unhappy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lockdoctor Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 Snow at Christmas, who'd have thunk it.... Health and safety gone made. People have the option of no going, but the traders are already there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyofborg Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 Health and safety gone made. People have the option of no going, but the traders are already there. it's not health and safety gone mad at all. some people think putting your head in a microwave filled with polyfilla is a sensible thing to do, so someone would have tried to travel, probably totally unprepared for the conditions and either killed or injured themselves or, worse, someone else. Either way the lives of emergency service workers would have been put at risk while recovering them and resources wasted which would be better expended elsewhere. lincolnshire, is a rural county and most of the roads are dangerous to people who know them under these conditions let alone outsiders looking for a jolly jaunt. ---------- Post added 10-12-2017 at 12:39 ---------- Snow at Christmas, who'd have thunk it.... actually, significant snow at this time of year is quite rare.

People will have travelled from all over the country and booked hotel rooms in the hope of seeing the market today. People will have travelled to Lincoln today and visited the shops, which will still be open in Lincoln today. Do you really think out door events are cancelled in Alpine countries because of the forecast of heavy snow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine that Alpine countries would cancel outdoor events if heavy snow was forecast, the risks to all and sundry would be that much higher. of course, they may not consider what we call heavy snow to be heavy snow but then they live with snowy conditions day in day out whereas we only encounter them, at most, a couple of times a year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The decision to cancel made national news. Lincoln council have been labelled a laughing stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
