That Monday in 2009 was pretty magical. The snow came from out of nowhere and took everyone by surprise as nobody had seen any for years.Buses couldn't get over Denmark Hill and all trains were cancelled so nobody could get to work...pretty special when you think about it. I was in Dulwich Park for that snowball fight and then the pub. But after the council got their act together and the other snow days since haven't had that impact.

P.s. Do spititualist churches practice the 'guilt/shame' doctrine?

We'd been in the Golden Lion in Camden on the Sunday afternoon, getting sloshed at the Honky Tonkiin' Sunday club. Looked out of the door at about five o'clock and there were a couple of flakes of snow. By eight it was a blizzard. Scarpered home and got one of the last buses to Camberwell before having to walk the rest of the way. So the Monday lunchtime thing was well-deserved.

A friend was working as an agency admin clerk at Tottenham Magistrates Court. He walked through the snow to work, which took him two hours, only to be told that the court was shut and he wouldn't be paid for the day. He told them to stick their f***ing job. He hasn't worked since.

He can't, it's just his "thing".




I long for a snow day, I honestly don't know how I'd get to work without the trains, so always a pretty good chance of a day off. My 3.5 year old was only 18m 2 years ago which was the last time we had proper snow, and before Frozen, so she is absolutely desperate for snow!

    • FredMarsh Started conversation: 6 minutes ago I must agree ! Shopping in Sainsburys Dog Kennel Hill has become very unpleasant ! The erection of coral fencing  to herd us all in one direction so that we can be observed by security prior to getting into the "shop" is quite horrible. The fresh meat counter has gone . The fresh fish counter has gone. The fresh cheese counter has gone. Most of the staff have gone ! Just a couple of attended checkouts left,  sometimes just the one with people waiting quietly inline But most people are herded into the payment coral and wait just as long to do a redundant cashiers job. unload your own shopping, place your bag in the right position so that it can be weighed and the quietly pick each item you are about to purchase , look for the barcode and pass the item across the scanner. Then put item in shopping bag.  What could be easier or more efficient ? If something goes wrong or you are trying purchase alcohol, just look round nervously, not wanting to make a fuss. If nothing happens start waving to the overworked member of staff in a sainsburys uniform  running up and down looking after a few dozen self service checkouts Don't forget to take your receipt (piece of paper that will be screwed up and discarded discreetly  shortly afterwards )  It's essential to present your receipt in order to escape the coral. There's nothing pleasant about Sainsburys any more. ! Why do I go there? Because I can get the whole thing over with and not get a parking ticket !! And NO !   I'm 77 completely knackered and am not going to get a bike

    • We do not go there anymore, it used to be a pleasant experience, but now shoppers are made to feel like criminals and the prices are not great. The till receipt gates to stop us nicking stuff do not work half the time - I would rather shop somewhere that makes me feel welcome. We also want to support our local independents, so we are trying to eat cheaper using less costly ingredients and buy local - it's a good way for us also to lose some weight! Veg and pulses.....and less booze 😞
    • Has seemed really empty over the past few weeks, with hardly anyone in the store on Thursday lunchtime, have I missed something or are people shopping somewhere else?
