Ok , I love snow

Its nice and cool , romantic , fun for kids , even brings out a dunkirk
spirit in little communitys.

However , I know one person who will loose several days pay if he cannot get
to work. An elderly couple who need meals on wheels, and then theres the
countless idiots who will try and drive to work in the hope that the boss
says "well done. Have a medal" when in reality they get there and find no
other person has turned up.

Get a grip guys. Snow is nice when your 10 , not when your 50. I guess a lot
off you would change your minds if you ended up with severe weather damage
to you r houses , relatives in hospital due to slipping on ice.

For me , I will wake up , see 8inches of snow , close curtains and go back
to bed.

My ideal situation though will be to get to work , get snowed in for three
days , and cover the shifts who cant get to work. Loadsa Money


Why do they all want snow?

It's a combination of schoolboys and overgrown schoolboys. Simple as
that.

Some of them are pretty smart, in an intellectual sort of way, however
when it comes to life most don't have a clue. The practical problems of
severe weather and it's effect are beyond most of them.

Wonder how many have wives and girlfriends? Few. Wonder how many are
in the kitchen at parties? Most.

This newsgroup is not without interest however I'm not sure I'd want to
chat with many of them in the pub. Such is life, sad or what?
