Well I guess it makes a change from us getting it all the time Zed:rolleyes:
I remember 4 foot snow drifts in the 70's and the schools never closed!
Me too strangely. Our school only closed when the heating broke.

DS was moaning the other day about the fact they brought a tractor into school in the afternoon to clear the snow off the grass! I can't think of a reason they wouldn't just let the kids play in it either so I told him the teachers had put it in the freezer so they could have snowball fights on the inset day.;)Mortgage OP 2025 £7050/7000Mortgage OP 2024 £7700/7000
