Schools Out

Just copied and pasted the list of schools closed in Oxfordshire off of the local radio website and into Excel to save counting them.
It currently stands at 299, must be some sort of record

I made the 20 mile journey into work today, got to the gate where I usually enter the site to find it closed, so had to drive to the Main gate to be told by the policeman that officially the site was closed and essential personnel only. (This mainly applies to the Government personnel and not to the Private Businesses like ours)
I made my way across site to find four cars in the carpark, mine made it 5 and the Plant manager later turned up after covering the 30 miles he needs to travel, so all in we have 6 people in out of a day staff of 15.

I find it strange how the guy that lives 2 miles from work and whos road where he lives I pass by the end of on my way in can't make to work.
Still thats the mentallity of some of the British workers these days and then they wonder why some firms would rather employ foreign labour.
