   • Most of London by the sounds of it.
     
     We've only got about an inch here at the moment, but that's apparently enough to shut more than 20 schools in and around Newbury.

      bravo.
      Only in Britain could we make such a fuss over a light sprinkling of snow.

    • Yeah, I mean, I like snow, it's nice, but facking hell can we all talk about something less predictable/unimportant? There was a lot in London though, poor loves.

    • Be fine if the buses would run, but they kept crashing the fuckers last night!!
      
      Had a fun day of no work.
      
      Not exactly a sprinkling of snow, nearly two foot over here (in places) and it's still snowing.

    • It's bloody frightening that the whole city can come to a complete standstill because of six inches of snowfall. I struggled in to work and what should have been a 15-20 minute journey took THREE HOURS because the fecking train broke down 5 minutes from my home station and when I did finally got there I was the only one who made it in so I fucked off at 4pm in case there was another three hour journey home. There wasn't.
      
      I suspect things will be worse tomorrow once all that fluffy snow has frozen overnight. This does not please me because if I don't work I don't get paid.

    • My favourite thing to watch on Youtube. Good memories of 1993 watching The Big Breakfast.
      
      I get annoyed when a few centimetres of snow screws up things, but I've just measured the snow in my front garden and it's 9 inches deep, for south east England that's unheard of nowadays. Last time it was this deep here was in 1991, I remember schools closing then for the day as well.

    • I waited for a bus and they told me they'd cancelled all service at 5pm, nice timing, the reason? No idea, they then went to clog Queens Road where the garage is with about 30 of the buggers, very odd behavior seeing as people want to get buses to get home rather than walk.
      
      I wasn't that bothered really, nice walk!

    • The problem is that people who work in public transport suffer from the same paranoia about snow as everyone else, and so do the whole not going in or knocking off early thing.
      I remember when you'd get this much snow regularly, and people just got on with it.

    • clearly the public transport bods favour us hillsorough people and like to help us home in the warm and dry. unlike those who dwell in the area around mike who they feel should walk
