Nanny says, 'Look out for ice!'

Nanny, full name Nanny State, is on the prowl again.

It describes "a fortnight in which Britain has been battered by the worst snowstorms in 18 years" and warns people to "look out for ice".

I know, sensationalist reporting is commonplace today, it's a marketing ploy to keep people reading/watching/listening. But this is uber-patronising and ridiculous. Especially when it seems the entirety of the British Isles has been buried in grit (not to mention smothered by 'Nanny knows best' policy).
