It’s 12:30pm here in England, and I’ve only just got into work.
It snowed last night, about 1 maybe 2cm. Consequently this morning, the entire public transport system into London has ground to a standstill.
I got to the train station this morning at 8:45, to be told that the 5:45 train still hadn’t arrived and wouldn’t be doing so for another 3 hours. Okaaaay. They told us to go home, and not use the trains at all.
So we drove in. And the motorways are full because no-one can get a train.
Argh.
The weather forecast last nigth said there would be a little bit of snow. How come the railway companies were \still\ taken by surprise? You’d think they’re be prepared for this by now. It’s the same every year… 😱 😠

Whereabouts are you then?
And I make / design / maintain the whole Churchill site. We’re also in charge of Nationwide, Prudential, CSG Claims, NIG… A whole bunch of stuff.
I honestly do a lot of work during the day, but the changes and updates etc don’t come in on a regular basis, so I can spend time researching or writing reports. That’s when I surf the web. 🙂

You like the adverts?!? I guess you get more irritated by them the longer you work here. And of course I’m only famous to other British people - Americans have no idea what Churchill the Dog is. Lucky them.
If you want soundbites of the dog, go to [http://www.churchill.com/fun](http://www.churchill.com/fun) and have a look in there. There’s video, audio, all sorts of stuff…

The UK transport system is banjoed anyway. Give Connex 2cm of snow and they’ll close down for a week. It wasn’t as if it was a total shock to them - the news said last night that snow was forecast.
t’s the same with autumn. Every year, the leaves falling from the trees catches them unawares…

and then in summer when the heat swells the rails…
and in spring when the rain wets the tracks too much
and then they strike
what a great country we have.

I have not met the dog.
I do not have his autograph.
I’m going to have to be cruel to be kind here. The dog is not real. It’s just a small bloke dressed in a dog suit…
I’m sorry if this has shattered your illusions… 🙂
