Tim Worstall is talking about the rough weather they are having in Portugal. Feh. Lightweight. We have genuine white fluffy snow here on the Côte d'Azur. Even the French are driving with unwonted attention and hardly any are gesticulting with both hands instead of steering - mind you I don't think they completely grasped the concept of maintaining a distance betwene the vehicle in front so there are still occasional bangs and tinkles of plastic - but at least its only the odd two car collision not a kilometre long mass pileup.
