The Great Britain Only Thread

^ what are you doing in a boat?

 

Thats really not a funny joke, he was being serious!

mmikey, I am not sure as I have not done it personally but I have survived from running my own websites and make a good living from them, I am hoping to be making £6000 a month from my latest company when it finally launches! I also have some coding work that needs done so contact me quickly!

 

Blimey... I was just... okay

quietly unsubscribes from thread

 

Apparently my depressing thought killed off this thread. Where are all you Great Britain members hiding at?

 

Dont know what your depressing thought was but im a brit member still here

 

How are you Pipes? Hope you're enjoying the snow, and have not been to badly affected by it all

 

Hey mikey! i been affected real bad lol here in london the snow was amazing! most i seen in ageeees! well... ever! ha. it closed down most of london transport though! woops.

 

I saw some of the photos of the snow in London. Hard to believe something so stupid can bring an entire country to it's knees. I guess thats the price we pay for being run by incompetent fools.

random question, is anyone here registered as self employed? Sole Trader or LTD?

 

Hi Mikey, its been good to see the snow, i love it when it stays for a few days.

Not really been affected, In Birmingham so nothing extreme. How you doing?

 

nope but i deal with them all the time here at my accountants office

 

I was going to mention earlier but thought i best not, but i have found the last few days kinda funny how the exageration that is put across regarding the weather really makes it sound like it was something big.

Its was a moderate amount of snow and all of a sudden everything is grinding to a halt, saying that this is the same country that says that the wrong type of snow or leaves on the train tracks mean the trains cant run.

I remember back in 90 or 91 i think we had proper snow where it was at least a foot deep and people coped.

In canada they cope good, they still get to work, they have extremes in temperatures too.

I could understand if we were a country that never got cold weather, i mean if jamaica got some snow and couldn't cope it would be understandable.

 

? you didnt visit east london by any chance? you would have seen that yes it was about a foot deep! i got 17" alloys on my car and it was almost up to the top of them!

 

Ive not seen any news really for about 3 weeks so wasn't aware of london actually getting that amount, all i knew was that the south was expecting the worst at first.

I agree, no offence to londoners, i know its the media to blame, they hype hype hype.

I think thats why when americans refer to the uk they nearly always mention london, like theres nothing outside it no offence to londoners again or americans.

 

Actually for me local transport was badly affected. I live near a major bus route, reguarly used both ways, as a popular college is on the route, as well as transporting a lot of people to the city centre. The buses are driving around the majority of it at 5mph because the council aern't gritting the roads untill 10 or 11am. When most of the heavy usage of the buses is done.

In my view, the authorities knew this was coming and should have been a lot better prepared.

 

I never got any snow where I live.

But, I'm getting pissed off about hearing London had snow - who gives a sh*t? It's only SNOW!

 

Never got any either. It makes me laugh when half the news tonight was about the weather. Even better was when I heard the underground in London was shut, WTF, surely there'd be no problems with snow underground?

Bunch of southern softies, doubt there'd be as much media attention if somewhere up North was hit with all the snow and London didn't get any.

 

Hi South East London here, Just near Tower Bridge.
Nice to see us Londoners getting stick about the snow!
Goes to show that most of the UK people on here are BLEEPING northeners!





















Just kidding!
I love you guys, all your accents are awesome

 

I'm based in the midlands near notts
