I work in St James's, but no buses and no trains and the only person who did make it in to the office today had no work to pass on so I think almost no-one made it in. The agency that I work for also seems to be largely absent as my email to them has gone unanswered. My mother tells me that when she was working in the 60s for the Civil Service if you lived within 5 miles of your workplace you were expected to walk in and no excuses were accepted. Whilst being largely in agreement with that, I don't fancy risking breaking my ankles (or anything else).


It would be helpful to know if public transport will be back up and running tomorrow.


What makes me really angry is that LB Southwark made no effort whatsoever to grit the roads/pavements at this end of ED and there is still no sign of any gritters or snowploughs, despite having 5 days' warning.

Left at normal time, prepared to walk


Got to ED station and buses were fairly plentiful if busy


Got on a 40, arrived at work (Blackfriars) earlier than usual


I'm here with practically no-one else so far mind you... but it was no trouble at all

Got into work in Canary Wharf no bother. 185 bus to Lewisham and then DLR. Waited no longer than usual and as there were no kids due to schools being closed the bus was less busy. Totally painless, though there were a lot of people who obviously don't normally get the bus, including one chap who asked me as we pulled into Lewisham whether it went on to Victoria - he'd got on it in the wrong direction.

    • Bit off-topic, but I am curious as to how you can book the silver swim at ED.  Every time I look on the booking system, it's full booked.  It seems to be booked further ahead than other swim sessions.  It would be really nice to be able to attend a non lane swim.  
    • That's awful. Did you complain to this man?
    • If you’re in a public place, your image is available for public consumption.  But you would have a legitimate grievance if you found it was being misused
    • I wanted to recommend my physio Mario.  Highly recommend him to anyone. he’s based on coldharbour lane SE5. Mario previously was working in East Dulwich but now has his own practise.  After my apt my range of movement has dramatically improved, able to put weight on the joint, swelling significantly reduced. Mario accepts medical health insurance clients from Nuffield, vitality, bupa too. https://orthophysioclinic.co.uk  07417 413969
