With the office shut Saves security, electricity, travel and more importantly a few hours kip I wouldn't get travelling.
I do everything on my laptop I can do on my office PC.
It's 2018
The real fact is most office jobs can be done from home, whilst most 'hands on' jobs cannot be done from home.

Loads of crashes in Kent this morning, people just see a seemingly clear road and think they can drive as normal. There is a lot of black ice around.
I drove to work yesterday morning whilst it was snowing and quite treacherous. I drove quite slowly but still had idiots on my bumper and passing me at speed, many without lights.5 -
Yep. M20 and M2 closures and it's still raining in Bearsted which considering its -3 does not bode well.0

There’s no way I can do my work from home. I’m pretty certain Mrs AUN wouldn’t fancy having Roger the Raper, Billy the Blagger, Nigel the Nonce and Tariq the Terrorist loitering in our kitchen.13 -
Would Roger, Billy and Nigel go for Halal though?DaveMehmet said:

Had a bit of rain here but it was freezing as it hit any surface.
Really weird watching it freeze on the window on impact.
Paths and roads are even worse than before.

Might be a bit repetitive after four nights of Spiced battered sausage though.

This^ A lot of people don't have sufficient experience of how to drive in the current conditions or how to steer out of a skid because we are encountering a longer, more severe cold snap than usual.ME14addick said:Loads of crashes in Kent this morning, people just see a seemingly clear road and think they can drive as normal.

Instead of the BBC wasting license payers money on live reporting from train passengers stranded in the west country or stranded drivers drinking snow on the M62, how about a short programme during main news bulletins on how to adopt your driving techniques in this weather. Road vehicles are killing machines even more so if you don't know how to control them in adverse weather, people's stories of inconvenience on a delayed train pale into complete insignificance.
Even after having held a full driving license for 50 years I don't profess to be an expert in snow and ice on the road. Rant over.

Boss says I can send out an email to say if people feel nervous about travelling in these conditions they can leave. I said id probably wait until I actually see some snow.

I think that's just East kent though?0

Says severe disruption across the entire network, with no trains running in east Kent. As always with Southeastern "Check before you travel"!0

I don't like to rub it in Jo but I've steamed up and down from Woolwich each day (bar one ) on the DLR. Though I'm not going to mention that here.Wilma said:Says severe disruption across the entire network, with no trains running in east Kent. As always with Southeastern "Check before you travel"!

Nearly got hit on a zebra crossing. Driver apologised said she couldn't stop then car behind her swerved to miss hers and hit the bollards. Could've gone a different way, think I'll stay indoors now...3

The numpty trying to do a u-turn in front of her didn't help and the van driver whose dash cam recorded it, must have had brown trousers afterwardsA-R-T-H-U-R said:

After saying how much better the roads up here are during snow, the M62 has been shut for 26 hours

Just started snowing near Sevenoaks.
Some people lack common sense when driving in these conditions, I've had a taxi driver drive very close to the back of my car in snowy conditions before. So it seems even those who drive for living lack the ability to adjust accordingly.0
