Snow Rant

Why is it that on the 2nd day after the snow in the south of England, people are still making the excuse that they can’t get to work? If they want and excuse to skip work then just pull a sicky the old fashioned way. I have colleagues who claim they can’t get into work due to the snow and ice however all the streets have been salted and I know for a fact that they live in the local area! School’s have been closed and people have brought their children into work with them due to this – if they can come into work and not stay at home to look after their children then everyone can. The company I work for are very liberal about working from home and encourage people to work over the phone so why are they doing this! It annoys me because it just makes England and the British people look like we can’t handle a bit of snow and ice! I made it into work perfectly on time Monday morning by the way :D
