My son’s school sent each pupil home tonight with a sheet of A4 paper asking us to send in our old Christmas cards so they could be taken to be re-cycled!!
Or maybe it’s because of the photo opportunity with the local MP?
Typical – the day that almost everyone goes back to work or school and what do we wake to find? A covering of snow – not a huge snowfall but enough to cause chaos (in England anyway!)
The first thing I have to marvel at is Medway council – they haven’t managed to clear snow from the streets or pavements around the kids schools but they have managed to get the little camera car to the bus stop outside the school to prevent us pulling up safely to drop off the kids. Shouldn’t the smug little shit who drives it be out manning the gritters or weilding a shovel clearing pavements instead of sitting in a nice warm car annoying drivers?
Then as I make my way up the M25 it starts to snow again – heavy enough to start to lie in the outside lane. Traffic slows down to a sensible 30 – 40 mph except for the stupid idiots who seem to think it’s acceptable to drive at 80mph in the snowbound outside lane!
Then we get a call from the caravan site to say we have a burst pipe. Luckily for us we had been down there on Saturday and discovered the caravan hadn’t been drained down as we had requested at the beginning of December. It was also lucky that we had popped into the office to ask why it hadn’t been done so that’s one repair we won’t be paying for!
I’ve asked this question many times but I’ll ask it again – why does this country fall to pieces every winter at the slightest sign of snow?
