The snow has arrived ..

The snow has arrived and is the ONLY news story. Snow on the ground in London is very unusual but not unheard of. They say its the worst for 18 years. Liz has cancelled at least the first part of her holiday - no use spending your day in the car park that will be the M25. Andy has abandoned his car in a side road, and walked the rest of the way to work. Mike came home early in a 4 carriage train with about 600 people in it.
I could tell my own story of the big freeze in 1963, but I just sound like so many of the other grumpy people. However, its worth noting that the reports on the news have been of people having fun and talking to each other - a rare occurrence indeed. Perhaps on balance the snow is not so bad. It seems it takes the unusual for people to become what they should always be.
Liz got her self on the radio, talking about her cancelled holiday, so that was at least some compensation.
