Tea? (Part 2)

[hopless500]

I used to drive 50 miles per day to newtown and back for work. Sometimes the snow was so bad I couldn't get there. They would comlain by saying well, it's not snowing here. Are you sure it's snowing where you are. ?

One of the blokes I worked with in Nottingham lived in the sticks in Derbyshire. Got to the stage where the poor bloke had to bring photos in as proof that he was snowed in.

We can get it pretty bad here, but I've always managed to get in to work

My Nan used to get that problem when she was teaching at a village school about 7 miles out of town.
In the famous winter of 1963 when the drifts were up to the tops of the hedges of the lanes she phoned in to the council offices to state she couldn't get, and got the response; "Well, there's no snow here".

I've always wanted to get snowed in and not have to go to work. Every time I move house, it seems to happen the year after I've left!
Been snowed in at Ullapool though at Christmas a few years back

I have been snowed in 3 times in the last 5 years. Only lasted for 2 days at the longest. It was fun but then had to live with the stuff hanging around for weeks. Yuck !

I have quite a few failures on that front due to the trains not running. Thankfully I can make up the time and my bosses have always been good about it.

Good luck at the dentist @Rockymountain and give the hygienist hell, eat onions and garlic before you go

Snow is beautiful for the first 2-3 days then it just gets to be a real pain. I wish it was either a guaranteed get snowed in winter so we can be prepared for the long haul or guaranteed no snow.

Planning your commutes is a nightmare if it snows you spend more time getting to work than you do actually working.

My commute is walking down stairs, cant get out of that one

Don't take my name in vain Man up and get some pigs.

It's all good education for the kids and meat on the table, think of the bacon sandwiches.

You come and do it!!!!!!!!!!

Perhaps @classic33 is going to be right and @Archie_tect will get snow on or before 12 December.

Worried about the consequences?

@coffeejo might if you talk to her nicely and offer a lifetime of free cake

If I am ever in a position to buy a property () I'll view properties in the winter so I know what I'm getting. So many people moved from their urban worlds to the back end of nowhere where I grew up having only ever seen it in the summer and couldn't cope with it in winter.

Indeed!

Forget the snow....more immediate is that I am going to the dentist in 10 minutes for a filling. I then can come back and have a few Mars Bars for lunch before having to go back and see the hygienist (who I do not like). I have been drinking black tea and lots of coffee just to stain my teeth (and hopefully annoy her)

Certain they're mars bars!!
