Another word stolen by the "that's offensive brigade"

Can't you work from home? What kind of job you do if I may ask?Whitwick got plastered yesterday. As nobody has cleared our road, nobody is getting up the hill, least of all my Z4.
Phoned it in, 3 day weekend. I'll pay for it tomorrow

Ha! I paint things, big spray booth, so a no no. I'm not fussed, for me it's just a day, the feckless people I work with take days and weeks off on the sick, whenever they feel like it.

My road isn't gritted, didn't want to risk it. Walked to work, only 2 miles.

Supposed to be at Vet for 10.0 clock - I called in chicken and cancelled it.
It's a nice crisp 27.5f here - don't know what C temp is as my other outside temp has broken.
4 years ago I got myself a snow shovel from Lidl - give it it's due it still worked and cleared a lot of snow then as soon as I finished it started again - Good job it was small fine flakes as we would have been up to the letter box this morning.

Guess a picture wouldn't go amiss.

Snow a good excuse for the soft southerners to take a day off or two.

Of course... well... WFH for me today

Well, it kinda is... Unless you can show me some evidence that homosexuals are incapable of driving in the snow.
I mean, it's possible, but it seems unlikely...

Snowing again here lol
Of course... well... WFH for me today
WFH here too.. we've got the rain that is snow but doesn't settle.. However it's really wet and -3 at least tonight so I rather than be stupid attempting it.

Last time it snowed my boss phoned me up saying don't bother coming into work so got a couple of day off on full pay. Ah those were the days.
Don't northerners have them already? They need it for all the mars bars they have to deep fry!
How big is your deep fat fryer out of interest? It needs be huge if you ever want to deep fry that chip on your shoulder...

That's a 40 minute walk, hardly arduous. Do you normally drive the 2 miles?

It’s 40mins walk in the dry, took an hour today.
Yes coz I’m lazy and I also come home for lunch.
I'm a bit angry right now so obviously TO THE INTERNET!
We live on a small country lane with just a few houses. Spent 2 hours digging my girlfriend's car out this morning so she could go to work.
Right now there is some tool parked in it who doesn't live here and she has just got home with absolutely nowhere safe to park.
I'm going to have to go out and spend another hour, in the dark, clearing a space.
Yes it's the public road and it's fair game for anyone to park there. It's not mine. But surely this is bad snow/neighbour etiquette?
Is it just me?
I know you'll all think I'm stupid but I'm trying to decide whether to leave a sarcastic note or actually go out and put the snow back.

Regards working from home when the weather's bad. Anyone that braves the journey in poor weather but doesn't absolutely need to be in the office, is risking their own safety and therefore reckless and untrustworthy.
Soldato
Well the snow you clear will have to go somewhere.......
Soldato
We would have no heating on the coldest night of the winter so far.. absolutely bloody freezing
