I’m working from home today, it’s not so bad, there aren’t that many distractions, except the mashed potato on the kitchen ceiling. That’s the problem when your housemate is ‘wild and crazy’ and has a new man for whom she has to show off.

But I don’t noramlly work from home, it’s all the fault of the weather. It’s been snowing and as everybody knows, there are no trains or buses if there’s snow in Britain. Makes you wonder how Scandinavians cope but that’s a different matter. The problem here is underfunding and a lack of investment in infrastructure. Since the rail system was privatised there has been under-investment in the basics until repair is no longer viable and new equipment is absolutely necessary. However, with the constant and above inflation price rises that the rail operators inflict on commuters you’d think that with all that dineo facil there would be plenty of cash to buy the kind of stock and rails that the northern countries use in order to keep trains running in all but the very worst of weather. Yesterday there was a reduced rail service after less than an inch of snow had fallen.

So why can’t they plan for bad weather like other countries do? It appears that because extremely inclement weather is so rare that it’s almost impossible to make contingency plans for. That’s one inch of ‘extremely bad’ weather. And it happens every year. I mean come on, if I have to take out a prestamos personales en efectivo just to buy my season tickets why can’t they look at getting aprestamos inmediatos and maybe getting hold of some stock that can manage to do its job with something a bit stronger than sleet before it breaks down?

I suppose it should really come as no surprise though, they can’t even run effectively in the rain so why should anyone expect them to be able to cope when that rain turns to fluff?
