British soldiers banned from training for snowy conditions at Norwegian base because health and safety rules deem it too COLD


British soldiers are being banned by health and safety rules from training at a military base in the Arctic circle - because it's too cold.
Locals at the Allied Training Centre in Porsanger in Norway said they were stunned that while Norwegian troops were out in -25C weather, the Brits were being kept in the warm because of the army rules.
The base commanding officer Lieutenant Colonel Trond Thomassen confirmed: 'British officers are not in a position to train with large divisions at Porsanger, where the temperature drops to 25 degrees below zero.
