So it was LCC that let us down again.

More schools are shut tomorrow. St. Christopher's decided today they will be shut tomorrow just because bad weather is forecast

Apparently not Neil, as I said I didn't know so I asked and apparently its solely LCCs baby. In fact there was a report in the LET yesterday with regards to road gritting, comments came from B with D and LCC, if local councils had any responsibility on gritting I'm sure Pendle, Burnley, Rossendale, Ribble Valley and Hyndburn would have been mentioned

I really find it pathetic that Schools have shut.

The problems it could cause families who have to find someone to watch the kid or lose a days wages, good show coming up to christmas just what we need.

Besides the interruption to children's education, it will cost the country millions of pounds in lost man hours.

Thet decided yesterday to close all 94 schools in Rochdale, and the snow never came!

The only time schools close in South Australia [other than strikes ]is when it is to hot

Talk about slush, my feet got soaked going to work this morning. Put my socks and trousers in the dryer but couldn't get my boots dry, due to no heating. Apparantly (sp) we won't have any heating tomorrow either, it could get to Monday afternoon before we can get oil delivered. It was near freezing all day.

I bet if these wimps had been going abroad they would have made it to the Airport.

I got a text message from my daughters school today to say that her school was shut...........this came at 8.15am when she normally sets off at 8am. But I told her that I would take her this morning, so she didn't have to walk in the slush and be in wet clothes all day.

I work at the hospital.............how would it be if the hospital staff just decided that they could shut it for the day?

Luckily the roads were ok today, and I had no problem in getting to work, but I do know that some nurses walked to work today, and walked a far distance as well.

I went to work today, and left my daughter with a friend ...........but I did come home early, but after making sure that everything was ok in my job, and the only reason that I came home was that I have a disabled son who can't be left alone for any lengthy period.

I was in B'burn Royal today for an Op. and the nurses were saying how hard they found it to get in,But they all did.
I was shifting snow at 5 o'clock this morning to get there for 7-30.

Did my back in but I got there.
