Sorry to hear about your leg Mr Houchen, but you are still fit for work. Yours Sincerely : Ian Duncan Smith.
Sorry to hear about your leg Mr Houchen, but you are still fit for work. Yours Sincerely : Ian Duncan Smith.Only started snowing here on the island at 3 this afternoon. Nothing beforehand. Now, I doubt if I could get to the end of my cul-d-sac, just 50 yards or so away! I had to get to the hospital today to have a brace fitted on my leg. Managed to get there and back! Phew!
(It's on my left leg, but took this via a mirror!)

Slip slidin away - Simon & GarfunkelWhat songs sum up this weather at the moment ? Cold As Ice by Foreigner. Or anything by Edgar Winter.
Will have to see how it is in the morning, does my head in they leave it so late as people need to sort childcare
Do they change traffic lights with weather? Dangerous on hollyhead road
Roads a lot better this morning, been past a few closed schools so they must have no heating.
More likely the teachers live out in the countryside and are unable to make it into town.
I'm 1 of 4 people in work today. Wish I hadn't bothered.
I live a 3 minute walk, really have no excuse.We had six out of eighteen last night but surprise surprise the ones that made it in came from the furthest away.
More likely another days holiday for them, we need to bring in a rule were it is made up before the end of year so cut their summer holidays short or the teachers should be made to attend and do things around the school. I am thrilled siting here watching the teacher over the road clean his drive when he could walk to school as it’s less than ten minute walk for him.
I drove into work last night and it took ten minutes more than normal and same coming back at 3am and then been out to drop my wife into work as a nurse where they were told yesterday no excuses everybody to come in no matter what the conditions even if they had to walk.
It's about 6 inches deep on the roads here.
There isn’t 6mm here
Don't think there are any real excuses today unless the heating has packed up.
Every school in Nuneaton’s heating can’t have packed up
Need to start investing in maintenance if so!
Yeah under a PFI, £3K to change a valve or thermostat Lol.Probably maintenance by Carillion
As did many head teachers. If they wait until morning they get a barrage of abuse about parents not being able to arrange child care at short notice, if they close the night before it's " ooh look there's hardly any snow they could have opened, not to mention the shitstorm if little Johnny slips over and breaks his arm. Damned either way really.I woke up earlier expecting to be snowed in, hardly anything there. Less than there was when I went to bed.
Not sure sure and I may have this wrong but just caught a clip of phone footage of a bus taking evasive action after a car from the other direction slid into its carriageway.
Seemed to be praising the bus driver who went into a skid then regained control.
Now as I say I may have it all wrong as I only caught the end of the segment, but that bus driver was going at the very least twice what would have been considered safe and cautious for the conditions.
Here's the news item about it. Not sure what car driver was trying to do, not sure about bus speed eitherHave heard about it but not seen it, I saw a few buses hammering it about yesterday.

BTW why should I not get paid when I am available for work and have been told the workplace is closed and decide to work at home instead?
