    I actually tried and everything. Got up early, no buses which I need to get to train station. No cabs, well I'm not getting one for at least a couple of hours I've been told. My mum offered to give me a lift to the station but back end of her merc was sliding all over the place so we've decided to head back. Car kept getting stuck and had to scrape all the snow out from around the back wheels and push hard to get the thing going again.

    What a shame

    I think I will have to, loads of the tubes are delayed or suspended and the overground trains not working and busses are also not running so think its a no brainer really

    I'm in work already and have been here from 7am. Bunch of skiving pansies.

    Being a contractor it's in my interest to work no matter what the weather. I don't work, I don't get paid. Things would be different if I was a permie. I'd be snowed in my road with no possible way of getting to work

    Got up prepared to do the usual 40 mile commute, had a wander up to the main road before setting off to have a look and decided not worth it can work from home. Would have taken hours then probably even longer getting home, takes about an hour and a half in normal rush hour traffic.

    Almost 2 foot in Croydon.

    Took me just over an hour instead of the usual 25 mins, had to pick up my bro as his motor got stuck (rwd BMW). My X5 took it all in it's stride.

    I made it in because I am the boss and it's my company but if you drive to work and that means using snowed in back road, I wouldn't blame you for not bothering as it's a sure-fire way to an accident of some description.

    Staying at home too as the schools I visit normally are closed. Not so good as no work = no pay but I'll make it up so I'm just going to enjoy the long weekend. :-)
