The clock watching boss who lives in the Home Counties wasn't going to beat you anyway.
I live in Camberwell so it was a joyous stroll up to the Oval, over Waterloo bridge and in to work. A beautiful fresh day. To those sad people standing outside Oval tube waiting to be let in I can only say - liberate yourself from the tyranny of the tube. You know they were going to make a drama out of a crisis. And as you only work three stops along at the Embankment or Charing Cross, was it really impossible to walk?
On the way back home - being allowed to leave early - I read over the top headlines about snow being a "disaster". Please. The explosion of the Hindenburg or the sinking of the Titanic was a disaster. This was more of a mild nuisance.
I suppose with Metro and thelondonpaper plus the Standard snapping at each other's heels for readers - every incident in London has to result in "fury" and "anger". But I didn't see any yesterday. I saw Londoners using the excuse of the snow to be quite humane. Swear I even saw some commuters smiling. There's a turn for the better.
