Had one job booked today but even though it was less than a mile away it just wasn't worth the risk.
Even if I'd got to the property I would still have had to carry the equipment through 6 inches of snow over a distance of about 100m. Not worth the risk.

Nice to be in the mild North...................today we are hotter ( well less cold ) than Madrid !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Hilton]

Not for much longer all heading your way,

We'er not used to it in London so much better up where it belongs.

Still gobsmacked though that one of the worlds major city's ground to halt over a bit of snow, all very embarrassing.

[spindle]

dont belive it blue skies,,,,,, shining sun

no trains on network southeast/west................london buses ok tube almost ok.......
all this for a bit of snow........dunno what they would do if it was worse 

my kids school is closed....why??.lazy teachers means that 1/2 of north kent cannot go to work as they need to care for children that should be at school

Yes luckily we have ducted air and refridgerated.and plenty of coldies in the fridge
But the van does get extremely hot,after the t/m's been going for a couple of hours,i sweat like a pig,so only doing one job in the mornings and the rest of the day off.
Some of the trains here are'nt going either cause the tracks are all bent out of shape,from the heat.But i would'nt swap with you for quids.

[Mike Halliday]

what I hate is a hint of snow and the phone goes dead, Monday is usually my busy day for phone calls, I get about 6 calls and usually book half of them them into this week but no calls on Monday or yesterday.
So this week is going to be crap

[clinton]

Seems to put them off and think the weather is bad so the cleaner wont be working  :

When we had snow in the past it was never on the headlines of the news

[robert meldrum]

Good point about the news on TV................

Right now, I'm looking out on blue skies and brilliant sunshine, no snow to be seen, unless I drive a couple of miles and look across the Clyde where the mountains are like Austria and covered in deep snow.

[Doctor Carpet (Ret'd)]

Ah, but it's only reported on the news when London gets snow.

The rest of us could be 2 feet under but if it's not London it doesn't count.

[daysdeepclean]

With all the crap thats been happening, credit crunch to name but a few, it amazed me that people were moanning about having a day off. It was the teacher's fault (as usual) and there was so much negativity going on.... What if  the schools said "We're open, make the effort to get your kids to school!"

News headlines "3 children killed in tragic accident!"

Who's fault? The school and the teachers presumably....!

My kids loved yesterday as did my wife.... Who is a teacher by the way

[robert meldrum]

Agree Colin

Teachers get lumbered with the outcome of bad parenting

SEND THE PARENTS TO BOOT CAMP
