So it snowed a bit over here in London.
Which meant that anything that is run by or affiliated to public services decided to call in sick. No buses. No tube. Forget any overland trains. Idiot drivers with hypothermia on the motorway. Old people lying in their own frozen piss.
And this in turn led to what the Mayor called “a mass skive”. 1 in 5 workers took the day off apparently. In London I’d say that it was closer to 4 in 5. Me included. (What – you think I’m going to RISK MY LIFE just to get to work? You’re having a laugh son. Anyway, I’ve got snowmen to build.)
If anyone were thinking of invading (and honestly – why would you? Have you seen the state of this place?), just wait for a light dusting. We’ll be too stunned by how you can possibly navigate your way through such treacherous conditions to do anything about it.
Brightening up a bit already.
Christ. I’ve seen more fresh pow at a flatwarming party.
