I despair of this stupid fucking country sometimes, I really, really do.

We have a little snow, and the whole country comes to a shuddering halt. Getting to work this morning was an epic trek that made Hannibal's trek across the Alps look like a stroll in the park on a summer's day. The tube station was closed, because there weren't enough staff. The tube network was struggling, because there were some trains stuck in the depot. As for the overground trains; don't make me fucking laugh. Not a hope of getting on one of those; mainly because they were kept in their sheds today. And how does TFL respond to the creaking of the transport network of out capital city under the weight of a bit of snow? They pull all the buses as well. So the only way of getting around this fucking town this morning was a shafted tube network. Good God alone knows how I will get home - perhaps I'll be able to find a sled and some huskies.

We don't need terrorist attacks or economic problems to cause this country to collapse. A bit of snow seems to do the trick.
