Only in England

Hello people
Nothing about backs today. I feel like a whinge today.
Last Sunday we had a bit of snow, 20 centimeters some places. I had a twenty mile drive in what, for us, are Arctic conditions, the snow was, after all from Russia. At least that's what the radio said.
It also said, as I was driving at speeds from 20 to 40 mph, that unless your journey was urgent, stay at home. Then the guy said London was closed. All buses cancelled the underground closed and the overground shut mostly as well. Except for East Anglia, where they get the worst weather in the south of England.
My destination normally has a workforce of 2000, it peaked on Monday at 400. By lunchtime people were drifting off home.
The national news was all about finger pointing, and laying blame. This weather had been predicted for 3 days, so why, so to speak, were caught with our pants down again? There is a prediction of snow again tonight, worse than before, and I have a journey up a Motorway again. No special tyres, no shovel in the car, just drive slow and hope there is some traffic on the roads to clear it.
The other choice will be stay home and make a snowman.
I also started a diet and exercise plan Monday, looking to get thin and lithe again.
Take care
Paul
