Worst snowfall here for 2 decades - about 6 inches (oo-er) and not looking like easing up at any stage soon.
 
It is nuts how this whole city breaks down as soon as there is any snow - tubes completely nadgered, no buses, etc.  There is only 4 other people in the office today, out of about 40 here normally.  Places in Europe, Canada, etc get tonnes more snow than this and still maintain a functioning apperance, yet the UK grinds to a halt.  Crazy.

Ahem. LONDON seems to grind to a halt, Frankie. I don't ever remember Glasgow ever grinding to a halt when it snowed.

Apparently I'm apathetic, but I couldn't care less.

When I was in England they had "the wrong type of snow" on the tracks. Caused havoc. Apparently the snow ploughs couldn't shift it.

In England they have a lot of the wrong types of anything.

For some reason the English seem unable to remember that if it gets cold in January one year, it probably will do again
Or if the leaves fall off the trees in September one year, they will probably fall again next year.

Not very bright, really ....

The City of london Council should have hired Robby Fowler, I hear he's good at sucking up snow through his nose.
Proud to have attended the first 175 Consecutive "Home" Wellington Phoenix "A League" Games !!

The Ruf, The Ruf, The Ruf is on Fire!!

Yeah, must've been 91 or 92?

Sounds about right, Jag. I was there from '89 - '96. Most of it a bit of a blur. The rest mostly good times. My then wife-to-be (now wife and mother of my children) was assistant manager at a very nice pub. I didn't go straight home very often.
