So who's snowed in?! who has the day off work? I'm lving in south london right now and work in central london.The trains and buses to central are off and I start work in 4 hours. Should I phone and say sorry but no show from me! :P

WALK :evil:

 

Wolly! So weird to see you again, but good.

WEILLY! god it's been actually ages since I last spoke to you! Must be a good couple of years! Where the hell have you been hiding? :P

 

I've tried phoning work but the network is busy...it's like when everyone is trying to text saying happy new year at new year but in these cirumstances it's like yeah I'm not going to work today :P

So it hasn't taken you long to get bitten by the London "skiving" bug.................... :rolleyes:

lol I literally can't get to work.The buses are off,the trains are off and I can't even get through to work on the phone.My last attempt at contacting them was through email so maybe someone might be in.I'm pretty sure they won't be open if loads of staff are off.

Matthew Wright walked in to work, so why couldn't you??:P

6 miles in the snow?! NO THANK YOU. :p

With that kind of attitude, no wonder the country's going to the dogs....................... :rolleyes:

Yay I took a day off College!!!!

I heard about this on the news and first i was "Mwaha, enjoy your snow, silly people!" but then i realized how annoying it must be when it snows for days and no transport is working properly

Well I reckon in Finland it must make the news when it doesn't snow!!:P

wow reilly is back :surprised:

It started snowing again. It doesn't really affect me because I live in the city but I still used it as excuse.

Ha! So you've caught the "sickie" bug too!!:stunned:

It's some stupid module in uni. You're supposed to attend 80% of the lectures unless you've got a reason why you can't come in.

True. I get depressed if the snow melts away and it doesn't snow for a few days. It's just so dark and depressive. Snow and cold temperatures are so much more fun!

Agreed. But only if the sun's shining at the same time.;)

yeah. first day of semester B here and i was supposed to have my first lectures, all cancelled

how much snow did you guys get? my friend studying at cambridge posted pictures of what she got, and it was like an inch, and i laughed that only an inch of snow halted everything :lol:. how much did everyone else get? i know it doesn't snow as much in england as it does where i'm from, and that it's snowing less in recent years over there, but we get feet of snow dumped on us overnight and the world still runs :P. i just wonder what to expect for next year.

It has been pretty light here, but just looked outside and there's like 5 inches of it, seemingly from nowhere. Is coming down fast. :stunned:

 

Maybe a day off work tomorrow :whistle: :P

Yes but like you said, your city is used to getting masses of snow, so you are prepared to deal with it when it comes around and have measures in place, it would be inefficient for us to have such measures as it very rarely happens where it is bad enough to cause problems

oh yes, i know. i was just wondering, so i know how to compare it, since new england weather is a lot like UK weather minus the snow factor. 5 inches is getting towards pretty sufficient for things to shut down for a while, though, even for here, though until it's like a foot of accumulation, it's all cleaned up in a matter of two hours and schools and workplaces still go on running :dozey:

 

i'm glad for all you that like snow that you're FINALLY getting some :P. we've gotten tons this year, and it's getting a bit boring, but i suppose it's nicer for you if you haven't really seen much at all this season. at the beginning of the season i think i'll never say that i want spring, but by february i'm sick of all the snow and digging out my car from a snowdrift every week.

It's fine by me....as long as it has cleared up by the 18th :P

 

Us Brits are pathetic though, we can't cope with anything extreme weather wise :dozey:

It's just an excuse really.

 

I got to work early today, says it all.

haha, well besides the cold, snow, and ice (which i love lots of as long as it's in the months of december and january), i can't handle extreme weather either :P. if it gets above 80 degrees F i can't deal, and i don't know HOW people live in the south of the US with hurricanes, or the midwest with tornadoes, or california with forest fires :stunned:. it's too extreme and too dangerously upredictable for me.
