    weather reports tell me to expect more for tomorrow.
    trouble is that if I don't get to work, there is always the "company's money-worths" making snide comments and if you break the company car getting to work, you still get the snide comments.
    no win situation and it is no good the Government telling us not to venture out unless we have to. People like me who have to go to work .....have to go out .....
    If it is that bad tomorrow, they can put me up in a hotel to save me the journey home. I'm Ok with that.

    Good Morning everyone.

    It is snowing heavily in Milton Keynes and I have adandoned trying to get to work.
    Have just mailed all my branches to let them know and that I'll look after the system from home to-day. at this rate I will get more done then trying to slip-slide my way to work.
    Wazzakins said that there are cars stuck on the A5 on-slip and off-slip and he will most likely work out of MK to-day rather them make it to his usual place of work.

    We cleared the path at 5 am and by 5.30 there was over an inch of snow on it again. It is coming down that heavy:help:
    just gives us an idea how much is already coming down./ there is no movement in my little close of people trying to get out to work. on the main road near me, there are cars stuck already because there is a slight incline to the round-about, right by the fire-station.
    The fireman are trying to make sure that the road is cleared there since they will need to get out should someone need them.

    I already have someone's lurgy (we have a very small office so we share bugs) so feel like death-warmed-up anyway so maybe the enforced stay at home will help me get over it.

    I'm glad GC site is working, my other faviourite site www.5ive-o.org is down for upgrade.
