I'm stuck in the car park at work lol, got a couple of lads in the boot and a couple pushing to get me reversed into a space so I can make a break for it when they close due to the snow at 3pm (hopefully). Started putting weights from the gym in my boot so I can get some traction, here's hoping!

Constant snow here, think everyone's pretty much given up trying to get about, haven't seen any cars go past for some time.

I'd go for a walk and take some photos, but it'd just end up in a snowball fight with some kids.

Soooo not fair! we have nothing down here!. Its just bloody cold!
Only had 4 customers all day, i'd make more money selling push chairs and Special brew around here. I'd rather be at home getting my cars ready for Petit! Now if we had lots of snow i could shut up shop and go home!.................wishfull thinking.

That’s a good point about the schools closing early DCM. All the kids are off round here, wtf!

When I was a kid snow didn’t stop you going to school, you just took mittens (with the string holding the two together) wellies and a bobble hat. If you got frost bite, so what? In fact, I distinctly remember losing both my arms and head to frost bite when I was 8. I was also killed at least twice by the 10ft tall out of control snowballs we used to roll in the playground. Now schools close when there’s a slight chilly breeze! Kids today, dunno they’re born.
