Snow - What a load of nuts.
« on: 18 January 2013, 06:23 »
I have never seen so much hype about the threat of a bit of snow.

Countries that actually have PROPER snow must be pissing themselves laughing at that fuss being made about a few centimetres we have had.

Work from home, - yeah right

If you have to work, stay indoors - erm aye ok.

Bare supermarket shelves from panic buying

What a crock of sh!te  :rolleyes:

My mrs works at a nursery in Norfolk and the council have shut pretty much every school in the county so she and the lad have the day off. Hospital staff are still getting in to work though and there are volunteer 4x4 enthusiasts that tow them in apparently

 I am down in London and have no snow yet- hopefully I will be able to get home later this afternoon!

As a country year on year we seem to be bad at coping with a little snow.  Even the mention of snow is big news.

Well I'm at work, just a bit of snow, will have to go up to the horse after work too. If worse comes to worse I'll just walk.

I swear in this weather people forget that they can walk?

The idea of snow excites me. It's always nice to see some fluffy white powder... :lipsrsealed:

However the UK is rubbish at dealing with it when it comes. Apparently it's a major disruption! Just be sensible when driving and it's easy stuff! I'm in work today, a few inches didn't stop me.

Crazy:
