So, if you don't know, London is under a foot or more of snow.
For some cities, this is no problem. But because we get big snowfalls maybe a few days a year and they usually melt come midday, we have no infrastructure to sort it out.
So gingergenius can't cycle his bike until he gets to the main road, because the wheels don't go round in 15 inch deep snow. When I did get to the main road I had to cycle in the little grooves made by cars, which was nuts cos I kept sliding around everywhere, and had to go about 2mph.
Then the trains, tubes, buses etc. are cancelled. So I go home, phone work and they're shut for the day so it's all good, I've got a day off.
So what to do with my day off? Sweet f*** all because there's no way of getting anywhere besides walking. And I'm not walking for more than 15 minutes. Which puts most of my friends, gf and everyone else out of reach. This sucks. Looks like a day of computer games and porn, which is what I always thought Sundays were for...
