Not much different to having a fire pit for a bbq and loading it with wood afterwards

Unfortunately I work around and use a laptop from home through my broadband connection so I don't have the excuse (Although to be honest all I want to do is sleep)However snow is not fun for eveyone, round here it doesn't take much for every fat
with a fat child to decide to drive them to school at 5mph in their fiat puntos, or worse still their fronteras, which are obviously driven especially badly to churn the snow up and make the roads complete ice rinks.the main roads can't cope with the slow speed or extra traffic and cross town travel becomes almost impossible so its either use up a days holiday or walk 7 miles in crap conditions some along roads with no footpaths and no guarantee that the office will still be open when I get there.
My 13 year old daughters bus will probably run in the morning but at 1PM I will get a call saying the school is closed and can I get her (ie 5 miles in the other direction) or is it ok for her to walk home? So I end up going out anyway.
Oh yes and if for any reason my wife can't work because of the snow she doesn't get paid..
Which ever way it goes snow is not welcomed in this house
Well I've got an unexpected free day...went up to northampton just to find that the people I was supposed to see hadn't turned up and the office was closing because the weather was getting worse. Had the best journey back ever - 2 hours door to door. Not sure where the road chaos that I was being told about on the radio was...
Decided it wasn't worth going in to the office so I'm off out for a couple of hours 'lunch break'

Oh yes, but you forgot to mention the Porsche Cayenne and BMW 4X4s with low profile tyres that slide sideways down any minor gradient!
In the end I chose a compromise day away from the office and enjoyed just a couple of hours in the woods from first light. Magical stuff indeed! Not so much fun though was the half-hour delay caused by too many of the above vehicle owners taking their chibs to Sevenoaks School and on a day when any child of moderate energy and imagination would, surely, prefer to walk? After all we are hardly talking about the mean streets of South London!
Cheers
Pah,
Bit hard to convince work that the 1" of soggy slush would prevent the LC getting through today..

Have just tried to get from Canary Wharf to Chelsea on my Motorbike.
Have just pushed my bike back after crashing. Am now minus front brake lever, rear break lever, certain amount of pride and a fair bit of blood through gash in my shin.
My mother always said I learn the hard way
