Snowed in!!

MORE heavy snow hit the Midlands this morning causing disruption on the roads and rail and has hit Christmas trading with a bang.

 Last weekend saw the biggest hit to the Gay Village with trading patterns damaged significantly due to the heavy snowfall during last week.

A local bar owner commented,
"People are not venturing out in the bad weather we are experiencing, bus and rail services have been disrupted, and taxis are few and far between, people are just staying in the warm."

Last weekend should of been one of the busiest of 2010 for most of the gay village, however customers we just snowed in with nowhere to go!
