I'm unemployed at present (although I have a job in sight now) and was told I MUST sign on today despite the fact that where I live is an ice rink. It's a private estate but we get no grit! I walked the mile home from the bus stop on sheets of ice. |

In 1973 We were unable to get the car out of our mile long drive, so I walked the 8 miles to work. One of the drs saw me on his way out to visit a patient and got cross because I hadnt stopped him, but he was going the wrong way! Got a lift home, but still had to walk the mile through deep snow. Was I glad to get home. |

When I worked for MOD as a Civil Servant we used to have a rule that if one person got into work from an area then all the others from that area didn't get paid if they didn't get in. And we had one female who walked about 5 miles in deep snow to get in (she was not popular.) We also used to have another rule. We had to report to the nearest place of work. This was in Bedfordshire on the Herts border so we had people coming into work who worked in London Civil Service who lived in our area. |

Tried this on me last year, Jean - and I work for a Council. We could either take unpaid leave or leave. |

The last couple of days I have not been able to get to work because of the snow, very dangerous underfoot and trains being cancelled , so I don't get paid, just wondered if when a football match gets cancelled because of bad weather do footballers get paid . |
