SNOW OFF!
There are two advantages that the British have over their European neighbours:
ONE: We are an island. We've got a lot of coast. Your boat crash on our coast? We take your goods. Ancient right of the British people.
TWO: We have a crap transport system. Snow? Transport system stop. The British people have time off work. Ancient rule.
Lots of British people snuggled at home today.
Wahoooo!

Dear Scribbles, if you were one of the Duvet-Day snugglers then congratulations. Socialistically though, think of the lost GNP.
Your link went to a page which had a report on rails buckling in 30-degree heat and disrupting train services, just as we here in Melbourne, Australia have had this week of 40-degree heat. We had a day of 45-degrees and it put out the electricity grid as well.
Weather is a great equaliser.
"think of the lost GNP" - we're still creating GNP in this country?
I did go to work Ann, made some phonecalls, and went home again for fear of not being able to dig my car out if I left it much longer. Working from home this afternoon. (I know it doesn't exactly look like that, but I can so multi-task).
PussCat in the snow is screaming for a caption.
I hope you have a litter tray inside, and grating cheese for bugless birds.
I am on constant water-bowl duty here, as the poor things have their beaks actually hanging open, and their wings held out from their body - it's a pathetic look.
While I put an ice-pack on my neck, you can make room in the duvet for the cat.
How great is this planet? Freezes some of us whilst boiling others, all at the same time.
I am on water-bowl duty too - but to pour boiling water into it to break the ice! The birds appreciate it. We get so many birds here; robins, tits, black birds, wood pigeons, thrushes, and once - a wood pecker. None very exotic, but so lovely to see in your own garden.
