    I despair with some people.

    Any other examples of permie bedwetteredness.
    I was supposed to be in that there London today. Suityou02 asked me to WFH so I could help her with the school runs. Them pavements is slippy so I did it. Rather me fall over than her.

    Trying to explain this to the PM though.

    Brilliant idea. If you have a good 4x4 with winter tyres see if you can get the client to pay you to pickup and drop off all the permies as overtime.

    Had the same problem this morning, tiny bit of snow and everyone instantly cuts their speed in half. It wasn't even sticking to the road

    Snowflakes here the size of eyeballs. It can't decide if it's going to stick or not.
