Today, Britain was brought to a stand-still once again by a slight change in the weather. The snow started yesterday afternoon, halted for a couple of hours and then began again in earnest at about 18:00 last night and didn't stop until late this afternoon.
When I walked to work this morning, not having the luxury of using the weather as an excuse not to turn up, there was about 4 inches of snow on the paths and roads. This being the centre of London, so you can just imagine how bad it was out of the central areas. I personally do not remember a time when I have seen it snow for such a long time continuously.
Out of a team of 6 only 3 of us turned up this morning, so we had a boring day of myself and one other guard swapping position while the manager went outside and built a snowman! I wish I was joking! Tonight though, only one person turned up out of a team of 3 (he actually never bothered going home, but slept in our rest room). As a consequence of this the manager is staying all night. What a shame.
I have three more shifts and it is meant to be snowing for all of them! I hope that some of the guys make it in for some of the shifts, but I can't wait for my next day off already.
