Ey oop Lad

Evidence (if it was needed) that:

a)You are indeed a Posh Bassa
b)You have gone `native

I don't mind the weather. I grew up in France where our small town was mentioned on National News every winter for being the coldest place in the country!! I learnt to drive in the snow!
As long as I have warm clothing I love it!
It's the idiots on the road I don't like. Or the fact that I couldn't get to work yesterday and today as I couldn't get my car off the drive! Even if i had there were several cars stranded along my road due to the icy surface!
So hopefully if this weather does continue then the councils will get wise to it and the roads will be OK and life will return to normal - of sorts...

We get a meal provided each day at work, the other day they gave us leftovers from breakfast, so I made a sausage butty and a bacon butty, the commotion this caused was unbelievable, they are still laughing about how gross it was?? Very odd people.

If it WERE needed my dear boy, if it were needed

Haha - sugar sandwiches. My parents used to feed my those in the 70's on occasion. Can't imagine anyone doing that now-a-days....

I also like the weather BUT:

1, The Yorkshireman within me (that's what she said) begrudges having to pay for higher heating bills

2, I'm lazy and don't like exerting myself just to be able to drive my car

3, I'm lazy and it's tiring work walking on ice and snow

4, I'm pretty sure this whole "winter wonderland" will wear thin after a while

5, I work from home most of the time so i can't have a "snow day" like the rest of the country

Oh, no offence DandNHill but i did chuckle at the fact that you wrote about how you hate idiots on the road and your next sentence stated you couldn't even get your car off your drive. It's a good job that wasn't part of your driving test

In response to the first 2 comments, think of it as an alternative to the gym!!

I also work from home on and off so I have had to work over the last couple of days, juggling two over excited boys who want me to go out in the garden with them and don't understand that "Mum has to work!"

And last point, I would be able to get the car out with a shovel but am enjoying having to walk instead. In my village the road has been transformed in to a very large footpath, which somehow gives it a real community feel! "We all need to stick together in these trying times!"

I also remember going to my Grandads and loving the mucky fat sandwiches. Beef Dripping in a breadcake toasted on the coal fire.

Aaaaaaaah

It's the good old blitz mentality

Not had the apple pie, but cheese and jam sandwiches or just cheese with jam on is great.

My dad used to eat lettuce and sugar sandwiches. They are actually quite nice!

My Nan (a yorkshire woman) used to insist that Yorkshire Pud should be served before the meal with gravy and a conncotion of lettuce, spring onions, warm water and sugar

Dripping on bread with salt on... I used to love that when I was 8.

Hell has indeed frozen over. It's reported that filming of Coronation Street had to be modified/suspended because of the weather. Many actors and crew unable to get to the studios

The British must truly be back on their heels, somewhat reminiscent of just before the Battle of Britain.

Yesterday when we were walking down the middle of the road like all the other people in our village, my son commented on how like a zombie movie it looked like! Very surreal!!
