Hands up whos snowed in and sleeping in the office

Post by chr15 »

Meeeee :faint: :grumpy:

Could be worse I guess. Would rather stay here than risk the traffic. Basingstoke is grid locked and a lot of roads about to be closed. Taking people hours to move not even half a mile.

Would rather stay here safe in the warm and sleep on the sofa in tv room.

Pub over the road so beer and burger tonight :yummy:

I once broke down in Norway on an Arctic Mountain Leaders Course... Well I broke down after getting lost, with no phone, GPS and a 4T Layland Daf Army truck in -46°C for over 2 days :eyepop: lucky we had our kit on us, after the second night we risked it at first light and done one... Finally met up with a second group on the road.

But get this then never even knew we were missing :eyepop: Lucky huh.

I know people who tried to leave Festival Place car park at 3pm and didn't get home until gone 2am! Absolutely mental! I have never seen anything like it. Reading was just as bad aswell.

I definately made the right choice as 3000 people slept in their cars overnight in Basingstoke apparently.

I got an extra hours sleep though as I didn't have to travel in to work 8)
