Doesn't look like it rises above freezing again now u til about 10am tomorrow2 -
Out and about in the Lee area yesterday and the footways were deadly slippery.
Looks like the same today.

Just been out walking in Greenwich and a lot of the pavements are very slippery. Maybe it's just an age thing? Never noticed ice as a kid.seth plum said:Out and about in the Lee area yesterday and the footways were deadly slippery.

Deary me. A bit of ice.4 -
I think it is an age thing. Round here the young ones sprint along and then do a standing slide which makes the black and white ice more slippery.
A fall at my age could easily be a broken bone or two which would take months to heal. After adding to NHS burdens as well.
My advice to everybody is don’t get any older.8 -

I realised yesterday when doing my banana skin aerial pirouette I’ve past the point where you haven’t fallen over, you’ve ‘had a fall’
sad times :-(16 -
Mrs Plum has loads of shoes, some (most) bought new over the years and never worn!letthegoodtimesroll said:

I only have three sets of footwear, one a pair of slippers bought in Sainsbury’s, one a lightweight pair of slip ons and a more substantial pair of lace ups.
Admittedly my footwear purchasing opportunities are limited because I don’t wear animal skins.
I would love a good pair of appropriately designed Kevlar shoes.0 -

I walked on an ortho ward for a number of years where falls and admission were inevitably related to ageing. Bone density is poor with a lot of the elderly which makes fractures more likely.
Shoes with a decent sole make a big difference. Anyone with a shuffling gait when they walk will struggle with icy pavements...0 -
Well I live a 10 min walk from The Valley and all the roads and especially pavements in the surrounding area are slippery as hell, as the name suggests the sun doesn't get on it that much and it's not really gone above freezing for several days.
Unless there's a mammoth gritting operation today then I won't be surprised if they call it off due to safety1 -

Haven't seen much in the way of pavements being cleared in Greenwich/Charlton in the last few days.sam3110 said:Well I live a 10 min walk from The Valley and all the roads and especially pavements in the surrounding area are slippery as hell, as the name suggests the sun doesn't get on it that much and it's not really gone above freezing for several days.

Thankfully we have a very young fanbase so slippery pavements won't be an issue..1 -

If the pitch is playable the game must go ahead.Covered End said:

With the train strike there doing me a favour giving me an excuse not to go. I personally will not go back until this crap with the owner is sorted out. I feel sorry for the next manager he has no chance. What a joke and with Brighton sending there first team down next week it doesn’t look good.Joke of an owner and joke of a team. Garner should have been given more time, we paid compensation to get him in then we have to pay the rest of his contract up to loose him. Money this club does not have.I fear for the rest of the season thankfully it will be with me not watching. Tried to give my season ticket away four people laughed at me saying why would we go there.0

Whatever the decision, make it now, I am thinking of the travelling fans, having to make a long trip from Bristol, and of course long distance Addicks, along with a train strike, they need to be advised this afternoon if it is off...4

It's been a long time since we've had day after day of well-below freezing temperatures like this week. GIven that the big thaw isn't due to start until Sat evening I wouldn't be surprised if the game is off.0
-
What you don't want is the game to go ahead then gets called off 15 minutes in as it's obvious the pitch is dangerous.0

Calling it off because it snowed a week earlier would be ridiculous.3 -
That’s not it, though. We’ve had no snow in Thanet. We do have ice today.Off_it said:If the pitch is playable the game should go ahead.
