mandragorahow a mere smattering of snow brings one of the world's major cities to its knees.
Yes, we have snow. But, it's only a couple of centimetres deep, not even an inch. However this has resulted in total gridlock on the roads and no public transport, for me at least.
The gridlock is as a result of the idiots in charge of maintaining the roads deciding that as the weather forecast was that the weather would warm up slightly (from minus 6C) they didn't need to order the gritting lorries to go out last night. Um, yeah. Great idea, chaps.
As for public transport, well there are 2 ways I can (normally) get to the office. Either by train, or by tube. Neither are working. In the case of the tube, it's due to a fire alert resulting in the total suspension of the Piccadilly Line. However, even if it was working I would then face severe disruption when I changing to the Northern Line. Sigh.
As for the trains... ::Snort:: Figured they wouldn't be running, bearing in mind that the falling of a few autumn leaves results in severe disruption to the service. And I was right. There are no trains.

Remind me again, is that a plus point or not?

Date: 31 January 2003 02:24 (UTC)What gets me, though, is that I have 2, count 'em, 2! ways of getting in, as opposed to your one and neither are sodding working.
And why is your WAGN line working and mine not? Think I'll see if I can send off an abusive email to the train company...
In any event I've been fighting off a virus for a couple of days now, so may as well succumb gracefully, as well as do all the chores I would have done tomorrow today and get some work done tomorrow, instead.
