When festival goers wear their grotty wristbands for months on end after the event. It looks stupid.

[ABBEY]

And the correct decision!

Why ?

For example st Charles was shut , pathetic really cars drive past it safely all day long .

Do schools shut in Sweden ?

Because I agree with it therefore the correct decision let the little ins have some fun in the snow we don't get it often

[ABBEY]

Let them play after school oops silly me the Avalanche and 10foot drifts had melted and the snowman was a puddle

No, of course they don't. It's an economic necessity for them to have the capability to clear snow from the roads and keep the country running through that weather.

It has been looked at here. Because it's so infrequent, the amount it would cost to get the equipment and have it on standby is more than the money we lose due to snow days.

Snow way was it bad enough to close schools

Kinda felt the same until I went to Norway and Sweden a couple of months ago. Snowmobiling up a mountain in pitch black was one of the best things I've done.

[ABBEY]

Not for me fella

Got passed over the heads of the crowd in the BBE and sat on the red track on the Riverside about 3 or 4 yards from the BBE, jumped up one time and cracked the older bro under the chin !

Gotta go London on Tuesday for an emergency hospital appointment for the Mrs . I said lets go on the train (always drive ) . Jim is always saying use public transport, well bloody hell fire it's extremely expensive to say the least .

It is cheaper to go Tenerife for a week .

Needless to say driving Monday afternoon when school finishes and staying in Edgware and if time Chinese in china town .

Public transport .. My arse

It's the transport for minted millionaires.

[Tom]

We've done it before on the cheap but last minute it's insane prices.

Took me near 6 hours on the train last week due to what amounted to large puddles at Rugby

[ABBEY]

£688 for us.

You might have been on the same train as me! 07.58 Preston to Euston??

Hopefully you have done the delay-repay also??

If you book about 6 weeks in advance you can get first class for around £40. Anything less than a week and you may as well just fly down!
