Re: Hard nosed b*stard

I drove Mr Lou to work today, didn't want him walking as worcestershire roads haven't been gritted and all too easy to lose control.

Took the old banger as I'm not fussed if anything happens to it (though Evie M was upset as it's going to be her car! LOL) and do you know what? Because I wasn't worried about the car I really enjoyed the drive, good fun to put my foot down when I got to his work drive (no one around) and to try and spin the back end out.

Hardly any snow ledt here today. The pics of the snow in Bristol on the BBC News website are awesome though:cool:

Re: Hard nosed b*stard

I have to say that I was impressed by an article on the news the other day about NHS staff bedding down on an empty ward so that they would not be troubled getting to/from work.

Although the article showed staff unpacking, female/male in adjacent beds. Are they going to get into trouble for mixed sex wards?

Re: Hard nosed b*stard

Thats not enough snow to say your not going to work.

When its past your door handles, its time to give up.

I'd have rode my bike on that road, and did down my own one, 3 days in a row.......

Re: Hard nosed b*stard

It's snowed hard here again today, but it's melting away now.

Re: Hard nosed b*stard

We have had next to no snow at all - its just wet - very disappointing :(

Re: Hard nosed b*stard

Our 3" of snow we had left yesterday morning had complelty gone by the time I got home.

It made me sad.

Due snow tonight, but i think its too wet, and too cold for snow to lay now :(

typical eh. MONDAY - Snow snow snow, while we all have to work.
Come the weekend though, lets melt so to ruin the humans weekend.

Mofo snow.

My orginal response was refering to yesterday, when Ed said he checked the buses were running and one person decied they weren't coming in to work despite the fact they could have.

There were no 'what if's' to consider yesterday, it was a clear cut case of transport being available yet they didn't bother to use it.

If, and this is a big if, the trains were delayed I would still have made my trip yesterday. We set off an hour later than planned because I procrastinated about whether we should go or not. Once I'd found out the trains were running on time we set off. Had all trains been cancelled then the decision would have been out of my hands, because there was no other transport available.

You were actually responding to Ed's first question which stated that "If people cannot get to work " So I'm with Ping :D Employees lying should be a completely different topic.

What an absolute **** you would make as a boss. Running a business is about taking risks - including the risk that the people you employ might not be able to come to work. It is a contract of employment, not payment for hours worked.:smt076

Re: Hard nosed b*stard

Snow? What snow?

Just come back from a gorgeous ride in bright sun, blue skies and dry roads.

Sorry, not helping am I :D :D :D
