Why is the U.K. so crappy at winter sports?
Advertisements [?]
Granted, they can't look out their back windows and see the Alps, but c'mon! Does it never snow in Scotland? Doesn't anyone participate in cross-country, biathalon, snowboarding, speed skating et al or are they just really BAD at it? I guess curling is all they've got. Pathetic.
