Quick! Snow! Panic! The whole country's transport system is is paralysed, we were down to at least half strength this morning at work. Or, at least, "transport system paralysed" is the excuse everyone's giving for not coming in to work today. It's like the entire population of the country woke up, saw the pure, unblemished, virgin snow lying deeply, crisply and evenly over the land like a carlessly thrown duvet and thought "Cool! Great excuse to pull a sickie!".
Not that I want to start a rush or anything (honest), but working at Tesco I've come to reliase how their supply chain works. No stock is kept in the superstore itself, all the fresh food is lorried in daily directly from the producers or a central warehouse. Or, as in todays case, is probably stuck somewhere in a lorry on the A14 with a couple of foot of snow over it. So, come adverse weather conditions, another petrol blockade like the other summer or some nutter buggering up the worlds oil supply, no fresh food turns up... As you are reading this you might like to hurridly start donning coat and shoes and grabbing your wallet in preperation for a trip at top speed to your nearest superstore before they run out of food and the riots start.
