Despite my occasional grumbles, we have much to be thankful for living in Britain.
For a start, we don’t suffer from the sort of typhoons that cause so much devastation in the world as witness the latest one, Morakot, which has struck Asia causing much death and destruction. In China, almost one million people were evacuated from their homes in advance of the typhoon’s landfall and we still wait on details of damage to property and life.
Consider how this country comes to a standstill at the slightest fall of snow, and compare that with what has achieved in China. They evacuated nearly a million people! Just think how much organisation that needed and the amount of transport, accommodation and feeding it required.
Yes, we have much to be thankful for.
