HonaloochieB Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 Howlin' Wolf woke up this morning and said "do I go into work and listen to people's stories about their 'nightmare' journeys into work and how they're going to have to leave at lunchtime so they can get home before midnight (probably - well I do live in Caterham - on a hill) or do I go back to sleep"?He's still at home with visions of Country Sugar Mamas dancing in his head.

giggirl Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 Oh FFS here we go again. It's a teensy weensy bit of snow. Let's bring the country to a stand still like we did the last time it snowed.

DulwichFox Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 Funny how people complain about the Trains and the Buses when it snows. People do not generally moan about the actual Weather. People at work seem to look out of the window and Gleefully announce that the Snow is getting worse. Then when it's time to get home it's 'The Stupid ****ing Buses. One flake of Snow and it's Chaos.. Don't happen in other countries.' .... Winge..... Moan ....Whine.

Brendan Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 The public transport system cannot handle the snow. This happens every year but still people seem surprised by it.

felt-tip Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 everything seemed to be working fine today though. I even took the train today rather than risk the slippery roads on my pushbike and it was fine.

DJKillaQueen Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 There are parts of the country that do get lot's of snow every year and they manage so I'm as confused as anyone as to why Londoners find it so hard to go to work if their journey is going to take a bit longer - lame excuse imo.

Applespider Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 Other parts of the country have snow ploughs, more gritters and generally shorter commutes with less dependence on public transport. If you live within 2 miles of the office, it's generally easier to walk it than if you live more than 5 miles out like many Londoners.In Scotland, most trains are still diesel powered so they're less affected by icy/snowy rails and have snow ploughs fitted on the front.

legalbeagle Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 I LOVE the snow. I love how beautiful it makes London look and I LOVE how the capital city grinds to a halt to the sound of gnashing teeth as soon as there's more than a few flakes on the ground. It's just so English that we can look so beautiful and yet be so grumpy and yet also overdramatic.Perfect example is a photo on the evening standard website, caption: "people in central London coping with the weather conditions" I can see three brollies and a woolly hat. Now that's coping for you.Let it snow! Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/14552-snowing-outside/#findComment-387617 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Applespider Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 I love it too. I have snow boots, woolly hat/scarf and gloves rather than trying to ignore it and teetering around in heels/ballet pumps as many of mining colleagues are. You can't stop it, you can't change it so just make a snow angel and enjoy... At least til supermarkets run out of milk..
