Alan Medic Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Specifically EDF posters/readers who should be working but are busy on here? How many man/woman hours are lost because you can't resist getting the next word in? Apart from Foxy who says he is retired, don't the rest of you feel like you are stealing from the well being of the country for generations to come? And some of you will complain about the trains/buses when the only place you are going is to 'work' to do what? Read/write on the forum.

BrandNewGuy Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 I always smile at "X is costing the economy Y" stories, as the figures quoted are simply plucked out of the air. For instance, killjoys always turn up on TV whenever there's a big 'snow day' to say how much people skiving off are costing the economy. A quick Google reveals quoted figures of ?1.2bn a day, ?500 million a day and, hilariously, ?679 million a day. It's all nonsense. Skiving the odd day does not "cost the economy".

Louisa Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 I can't bare people who won't live and let live over a snow day. After all it's only once in a blue moon! Some people are just members of the killjoy police. Retired here so free to look for bargains, get angry at the world and drink copious glasses of wine and pints of beer. Louisa.

There was no traffic, so we walked down the middle of the road to the Bishop at lunchtime for a swift pint. By three o'clock it was packed. Ended up spending all afternoon there.

LadyNorwood Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 It was a wonderful day - no traffic (until about 8pm), people ski-ing (yes really) along Park Hall Road, his Lordship managed to get from work as far as the Dog in the Village and then 'had' to stay there for a few pints and a spot of dinner until he could get a lift the rest of the way home...BrandNewGuy Wrote:-------------------------------------------------------> Louisa Wrote:> --------------------------------------------------> -----> > I can't bare people who won't live and let live> > over a snow day.

Ended up spending all afternoon> there.This was February 8/9th 2009. It was the heaviest snowfall London had experienced in 19 years. We had well over a foot of snow outside, I remember because on the sunday evening I left the spiritualist church in Bexley and could barely navigate my way home! It was horrific. The next day everything along LL was closed, apart from the pubs! I do hope we have a good heavy snowfall this winter but the long range outlook isn't looking hopeful.Louisa.

Robert Poste's Child Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 There was also a running snowball battle involving hordes of people in Dulwich Park, rather like a medieval football match.

Louisa Posted January 21, 2015 Share Posted January 21, 2015 Oh for goodness sakes StraferJack stop spoiling things! The 'drag up posts from years ago police' are out in force tonight! It was just a bit of snow after all. I was a little irate at the time and in hindsight maybe a little short sighted over this one. Just to clarify I've mellowed over this since on reflection and wouldn't say no to some more snow. Louisa.
