Whatever about getting to work how do I get home after a night shift, do I have to stay here.

It'll be perfect! My 4 West Highland Terriers can't wait!

Oh VBC - this is my nemesis indeed.

[MrBen]

Yes you do. Unless you have a helicopter.

You'll have to cross that Bridge when you come to it.

I suggest Westminster will be your best bet and then Shank's Pony...

I'm just going for a dog walk, chaps, I may be sometime ...

[ratty]

Agh, I am house bound this morning

As usual, eventhough the snow has been predicted for a few days, the roads and pavements have not been gritted.

[Pozzee]

Does anyone know if the trains are running yet?

[dogkennel]

All Southern Metro services are suspended. I live by East Dulwich station, can see the snow covering the lines!

[Pozzee]

Thank you dogkennel - our very own train monitor. I love it - emergency timetable - i.e. no trains.

Yes thank you Dog Kennel, will you be able to post when they are running please, sorry 'if' they start running today...I don't think my boss believes me when I say I cannot get in from East Dulwich. Thanks. T

[Ladygooner]

I tried to get to work - got as far as ED Station but no trains or buses - hope there is something good on the tv today!

[hibbs]

I've just found out my office is closed today - yay!

[SeanMacGabhann]

Listening to the radio with lots of people ringing in complaining about "if they can do this in Canada and Poland why can't we?" etc etc. And even tho people ring in with perfectly reasonable explanations (eg gritting the road only works if there is sufficient volume of traffic, if there is no traffic gritting doesn't work. OR - in those countries these conditions are typical and so infrastructure is geared towards it.) people still ask the exact same question. Does my nut in

Missing the odd day of work happens for different reasons in different countries - I was off work today anyway but if I was going to work I would just have walked - it's only 3-4 miles if you work in the city. But listening to these people on the radio... sheesh

ok i know this is sad but ermm due to the trains being cancelled i cant get to work where i have left my charger for my work laptop. I need to work today despite the being snowed in and wondered if anyone would be nice enough to lend me their chargers as i'm guessing not that many ppl will be working from home..... i have an HP compaq 6910p laptop.

Its lovely see the children playing in the snow in Peckham Rye Park.

Callo callay oh frabjous day.

No work for yours truly, I have spent the tine wisely though ordering tickets for Mott The Hoople's extra concert date on 1st October.

Bloody exhausted, so going back to bed.

[fractionater]

I'm stranded in Croydon at my Sisters place...after a 9hr trip from Leicester back to London last night!

All was fine until we hit the M25....one of the scariest journeys I've ever made!

Trying to get back home to ED now...but looks like the trains are all out.

No-one can blame you M8.

You've cwertainly done your bit(tu)

[jollybaby]

How frustrating -on annual leave this week - so no extra days off for me. Out in the country at the folks' house and can't believe that the aerial man has not been put off by the snow. He's up the ladder on the roof as I type. Not like us city wusses ....

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Back from a wonderful walk. Amazing the amount of snow'men' - particular mention for the somewhat lewd one with breasts and strategically applied grass.

Tesco Express has just closed down - not enough staff. I was fortunate enough to be one of the last let in so we're stocked up on Heinz tomato soup which is essential in this weather.

Three cheers for the Park Rangers/Gardeners who braved it in to open up the gates.

[ratty]

He's not going to work either

[TillieTrotter]

Loving that Ratty, your work sir?
