People would complain so much if all that money was invested in snow ploughs etc and they sat unused for years on end.<BR/><BR/>I should have been able to work from home, but used error meant that various passwords etc had expired... I had the technology, I just couldn't use it...<BR/><BR/>spudgy - I was a but sceptical about all the buses being out of action and then I heard about various accidents buses were in on Sunday night and realised that actually it seemed like the right decision. I for one was glad to have no dilemmas about whether I could get to work. The perfect day to spend at home!<BR/><BR/>kahless - I'll try and send you some snow. Just enough to keep you off work, but not too much. Your colleagues are too dedicated!Random Reflectionshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07961882549625406258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18700538.post-37833627496786858212009-02-03T19:00:00.000+00:002009-02-03T19:00:00.000+00:00Not us much snow up north :-(I rang in work this m...Not us much snow up north :-(<BR/><BR/>I rang in work this morning, debating whether to go on, and I found everyone else had pitched up so I ended up doing so too!Kahlesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00500615451909999365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18700538.post-65962027156427101982009-02-03T11:31:00.000+00:002009-02-03T11:31:00.000+00:00Here!

Boris was right when he said 120 tonnes of metal on wheels is a very dangerous object!! I see Tfl Staff had to go out and help the councils with the gritting last night too. Where would people be withoug the buses (not that I'm biased or anything)Spudgyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16525961402139077892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18700538.post-83448840902778582392009-02-03T08:09:00.000+00:002009-02-03T08:09:00.000+00:00I felt exactly the same as you yesterday! That man...I felt exactly the same as you yesterday! That man on the news was a prat. Of course our transport system isn't cut out for this EXTREME weather. These sorts of severe weather events happen once in two decades so it doesn't make any sense to invest massive amounts of money in snow ploughs and the like when they'll only be wheeled out once in a blue moon.<BR/><BR/>Far better for companies to invest in their own technology so that, on the rare occasion that snow like this does stop people coming in, their staff can work from home just like so many of us did yesterday!Souphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12289911480898794581noreply@blogger.com
