I posted originally immediately after I called the person concerned, so it was hardly a mammoth struggle to get in.

wonder how much compo he'll get when he slips on the pavement outside or crashes his car going home this evening when it's all frozen solid and gone dark?

When I worked at Lotus (about 8 miles from Norwich) a couple of years ago we had people claiming they were snowed in who lived in Norwich yet two contractors who travelled from Colchester and Chelmsford everyday still made it in. Those that "couldn't" make it in were made to look very silly the next day!

As long as it doesn't happen in my office, that's their problem

I used to work about 25 miles from where I lived last time we had much snow in Leeds, about 1998/9 iirc. I got into work 30 mins late having driven, and bet people who lived less than a mile away by over an hour.

until he claims he was "instructed" to come to work despite weather warnings...

the HSE inspector probably won't like the piles of flammable waste paper appearing next to the desks either

Our boss doesn't do mercy, everyone who took a day off either took it as holiday pay or unpaid. My manager didn't come in from huddersfield on the 3rd and he got a rollocking. Tough love, everything we do we get a rollocking for (even if it was nothing to do with us) yet we still work are arses off.

Good for him/her.

People moan the country comes to a stand because of the snow, I wonder if the majority of these people are now sat at home because of a little snow???
