I don't know what happens when it gets to 6 inches. I think they have run out of colours. All trains cancelled in the red zone, where ever that is. Mind you, they cancelled the trains somewhere doon south yesterday and they never saw as much as one snowflake. Panic merchants. I don't mind that too much though. If they can persuade the folk who don't know how to drive in snow, to stay at home it makes life easier for the rest of us. That's quite an honest, albeit embarrassing admission on a public forum.

jenblueeyes Posted February 28, 2018 Share Posted February 28, 2018 Everyone in our office has the ability to work from home - so we were told to do that today and tomorrow. So today was great, however, tomorrow I'm supposed to be getting a flight at 9.35 am from Glasgow to London to go to some already-paid for, very expensive theatre productions. Really hoping it's not as bad as they are predicting overnight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However it all seems a bit of an overreaction it's not f*cking snowmaggeden. I think you might work in the same place as my missus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I walked 3 and a half hours from The Gyle to Omni when I eventually found a taxi Next day it was hangover central in the work and next to fuck all was done, nothing was said though as the managers were on the loopy juice all night aswell. Yet, I look a bit tired or get seen taking a nurofen on a Monday after a derby or big Scotland weekend and they accuse me of having a hangover Showeracuntz Wait till you get to my age, you can pop pills till your hearts content and no -one bats an eyelid. Infact you are expected to look shit and spaced out every day. Travel home on the M8 was a doddle. At least it was for me, sitting in the back of a taxi buffing ma nails.

Employment lawyer on radio today said employers do not have to pay you, may make you take it as a holiday. Many workers are covered such as teachers or lecturers but it’s not blanket coverage.
