Snow

I don't buy in to all this "Iam snowed in" rubbish. It is really so bad you can't open the door and walk to work? Unless you live very high up in Scotland,sounds like a typical British attitude,couple of inches of snow and everyone is "snowed in"! Yeah right!
To be fair, I quite like the snow. It's the only time 4 inches can keep a woman in bed all day
Down south it is crazy at the moment, was meant to have two appointments in London today and then off to Horsham. I have now cancelled these for my safety as frankly it is not life or death!
I am about as far south as you can go without heading to Cornwall, and I'm ashamed to say that no I will not be going to work today.
My reason? It took me 5 hours to do a 15 minute drive last night, and the car is still only 5 minutes from work! Had to leave it and walk home... now don't get me wrong, I wouldn't mind if it was my fault as I couldn't drive on snow/ice, but it was nothing to do with me. Every road I turned down had a line of cars that were either abandoned or being driven by a complete numpty meaning the route was blocked. If I'd had a 4x4 I STILL wouldn't have managed to get it home because there would still be a bus parked in the way... Good old England.

Each to their own. I set off at 5.45am and walked to work,took me an hour but hey,thats just me. Iam sure its easy to convince yourself its too bad to go out,and then just take the easy option and stay in bed.
You are my f*cking hero.Each to their own. I set off at 5.45am and walked to work,took me an hour but hey,thats just me. Iam sure its easy to convince yourself its too bad to go out,and then just take the easy option and stay in bed.
No its easy to convince myself that a) I don't get paid enough to spend 5 hours commuting to work, b) I don't need to watch morons crash their cars around me and c) that the snow is pretty and snowmen don't make themselves!Each to their own.
