I know it's bad right, but when i was at school, we never got one day off for snow...

and back then cars were not as good as they are now, the roads were not as good, our footwear was shit and all i had a was a daft duffle coat.

Lucky bastards!!

With footy it's all about calling off the games cos the approach ways leading up the ground are bad, fair do's, but you cant tell me they are any worse than in the 80's and early 90's, when games constantly went ahead through snow and this approach to the ground thingy was never even mentioned.

People are just soft as shite these days, that is... FACT!

I played a sunday league game in the snow last year on greys, only game in town go ahead, was bloody brilliant.

The sadistic P.E. teachers would have had us playing football in this when I was at school, without a t-shirt. I can remember us laughing while trying to pull up our trouser flys with completely numb hands.

I think we got a week off, and the conditions were very similar to this from memory, cold, snowy but not bad enough to stop us playing footy all day.


hartlepool must have escaped the worst of it then because in shotton the snow was as high as the bus shelters. there were 13 foot snow drifts in the more exposed parts. the whole village was completely cut off for 3 days before the snow ploughs arrived.

we had to dig our front door out by going out of the bedroom windows.


Bus shelters? is that it?

one time the snow fully covered our house, we couldnt get out and had to live on snow for 2 months, we literally eat our way out.

I just watched the BBC national news. Apparantly some snow is forecast for the Hartlepool area. They mentioned Hartlepool by name when they forecast snow for Middlesbrough and the North-East.

I just had to drive our lass to a restaurant on linthorpe road. The a19 and a66 are completely mental. I cant remember driving in such bad conditions. cars just sliding all over the place. I told her that she will have to get a taxi home so im in the doghouse. selfish cow.

I think a lot of teachers need to learn to get themselves out of bed on a morning to get themselves to work, they only have to graft till 3.30 and then they can make their way home. Some lazy gits just dont want to work these days. I don't think the country should be coming to a stand still just because there is a bit of snow....

I think teachers are idle gets as well. :evil:

And I am one. Terrible shift today. Ambled in at 2.30, 3.00-4.00, 6.30 'til 7.30 and 8.00- 8.40pm. THEN I had to talk to a Dad 'til 9.05. :roll:

Tomorrow, 9.45am to 12. 3.00pm to 5.15 and then 7.00-7.40 and 8-9.00pm. Monday and Tuesday off.

No wonder I'm knackered and all I earn is 4 times the National Average. I'm a martyr to the cause. bbolt

You sure that wasnt a teachers strike that year? I remember being off school for a week but Im sure it was due to a strike. The snow was just coincidental. I remember having to trudge through it to get to school to get our homework to do while the teachers were skiving.

I used to think that teachers had it easy, till a chap I worked with explained to me what his wife, a secondary school teacher, had to endure. He explained that although the kids finished at 3.30pm she was still there till 5pm, she would go in an hour or two early to prepare for the day, and spend endless hours at home on a night marking homework,classwork, and preparing for the next day. Also trying to control 30-odd kids some with more lip than Mick Jagger, well I would'nt fancy it.

Also getting some nauseating kid's parents coming in wanting to create because they'd been excluded in some way. Changed my opinion.

rolfl rolfl The usual tripe they spout, about having to work from 8-5 and not just school hours. And it's generally bollox too. rolfl rolfl

And even 8 til 5 is hardly bad hours.

They'll be trying to have you believe that they don't get the same holidays as the kids next, as some gullible noggins will believe them. :roll: rolfl
