Nope, but if they couldn't get in, they couldn't get in.You would t expect doctors not to turn up for work would you?
Well my daughter's best friend's street was closed to all traffic yesterday. Nowt coming in or out.
We Otis's are very happy for snow days. Long may they continue!! Whooo hoooo!!!
That was yesterday will be better today unless the road is full of teachers then it will last for days
Surely it's better if teachers are at home. that way they are not driving around in their sandals preening themselves.That was yesterday will be better today unless the road is full of teachers then it will last for days
Nope, but if they couldn't get in, they couldn't get in.
My missus has a part time job in a shop and about a third of the staff couldn't make it in yesterday.
Everyone should try to get in, but it is not always possible.
Embrace the snow, we only live once, despite what L Ron Hubbard says.
I look like a camper version of Christopher biggins in my costume, and I'm dressing up as santa to give out some presents at a children's respite centre next week, really looking forward to thatOh no you're not.
Tis better today. My daughter's friend's road was completely closed yesterday, but today she says her dad managed to get out.The roads are fine today pretty much, have done a lap of the city and as long as you weren't being silly and stuck to half decent roads they were completely clear.
If the amount of traffic this morning is any indication its not just the teachers who can't be bothered.Another other profession has to turn up regardless if it’s customers are there or not
Well all the official advice from police and suchlike was to NOT venture out.Anybody can get in - all main roads are passable. Christ this isn’t Russia - it’s a few snowflakes.
If we want everyone in then tell all the official channels to stop issuing statements telling everyone to NOT go in and NOT to drive.If the amount of traffic this morning is any indication its not just the teachers who can't be bothered.

I think schools are worried about litigation as much as anything else.

With my daughter's friend's road that wouldn't have been possible. It's an incline, then a sharpish bend, then another incline and then another sharpish bend and just the width of one car space. A slide of anything more than about 10mm and you would hit a garden wall or parked car.My road was awful yesterday, still cars sliding about but I used my noggin and went and moved it to the main road later on and left it there for the night. This morning there was no pissing about sliding about as I had done all of that yesterday.
Jumped straight in, drove off on a normal road.

No buses going down there. Not sure whether a taxi would have been able to, but would guess that they maybe would.Walk to the main road and get a family member / bus / uber / taxi, that was my backup plan if it really really came down to it.

No good though if you live in Allesley and need to get a taxi to Magna Park Lutterworth. Probably cost more in taxi fare than it would a day's wages.
Worth giving it a go though surely?You can't shut down a whole city because of one street in Allesley
There are MASSIVE differences between us and Canada! Canada have an infrastructure they've spent Billions on and spent decades perfecting ready for snow fall to clear it and make roads safe within hours of it falling! They also all drive huge vans, pick up trucks and 4x4s.It always amazes me how teachers all seem to have cars that don't work in the snow if they had the same attitude in Canada they would be the thickest country in the world. My wife and all her nursing colleagues managed to get into work yesterday and I managed with about 100 others to get in to work as normal last night.
All teachers should report to school as normal even if the pupils don't go in or lose a days pay.
Love this picture.. It's me on my round !Nope, but if they couldn't get in, they couldn't get in.

Roads were practically empty this morning, my biggest challenge was parking at work because the car park was still covered in snow.If the amount of traffic this morning is any indication its not just the teachers who can't be bothered.

I agree that teachers often get an easy ride but I'm pretty sure if Theresa May cut the defence budget and upped your council tax to spend £40b to buy equipment and employ a work force to clear snow from the streets once every 4 years you'd be a bit more pissed off than how irate you're getting over a snow day!!

Still... no reason to go A&E for anything other than outright emergency, at any time.They will be closed on Sundays wont they?
Our office was closed today, so I'm working from home today. Probably why I'm posting on here so much...
I think some people need to lighten up though. We don't get snow very often and it can be quite magical. One of my dogs had never seen it before so had a day full of experience yesterday.
Also, as for teachers being lazy. I'm pretty sure they close the schools due to health and safety of the kids.
I have a few friends who are teachers and they all tell me DON'T be a teacher.Always wonder why if teaching's such a lark and they don't earn their money, why more people don't race to do it...
...or both, maybe...?I have a few friends who are teachers and they all tell me DON'T be a teacher.
I hope that is because the profession is so undervalued and stressful and not because I would be crap at it.
Never got that, it's a lorry.Coca Cola lorries in Broadgate, loads of families and kids queuing for a picture!
Shows helped give an early Christmas feel!

Not everybody's an egocentric self-centred cock motivated solely by money.Because if you have enough talent you’d do something in the real world that pays more?
