For the last half hour the snow has fallen over the Burslem. sticking quickly too .
But for part of the morning several small groups of kids have walked over the frozen pond on the Grange ,some trying to break the ice while standing on it , some just walking or running over the surface .
The pond isnt very deep perhaps 4foot or so, but why do kids think its agood idea to do this. theres so many news stories telling them of the danger of it.

police wouldnt come to that,
wouldnt waste their time with the call- as 80% of the time when something is happening by kids on the fields and the police are called -by the time they arrive the kids have moved on.

yes 4foot is deep enough to be dangerous , 1foot of water can be dangerous.
and the pond does have the odd shopping trolley pushed in to it from time to time so anything could be in there,
as the pond is still frozen today the groups of local kids around dinner time will perhaps have another "play" on it.
