Frozen
I was twenty minutes late for work this morning, but I brought a note from home just in case I was summoned to the Controller's office and given the strap. It's the weather, you see. Inverness sits in a bit of a basin in the landscape and, for the past few days, that basin has been full of mist and the whole city feels like one of those freezer-food shops. I keep expecting to see Kerry Katona wandering around with plates of cocktail sausages and profiteroles.
I had the cunning idea of keeping a bottle of slightly diluted screen wash in the car so that I could douse the windscreen . Alas the whole bottle froze and the contents looked like a huge blue popsicle or a lump of that stuff that falls out of airplane toilet systems. So I had to sit there, waiting for the car heater to do its business and listening to Graham Stewart on Morning Extra talking about plans to install speed limiters in cars. I gave a bitter laugh, but that caused the glass to mist up again.
Technically, me listening to the radio is actually part of my job, so I wasn't really late for work at all.
Honestly, sir.

I trust you have passed an edicte to all your managers to issued the minions with a copy of RoSPAs Winter Driving pamphlet thus ensuring
1 their safety
2 safety contact compliance
& lastly affording you the same luxury should you ever feel the need again not to be first into the office!
Finally can I also join with Scotch in wishing you and yours all the very best for 2009 I would also care to add that Radio Scotland has been so much better than the TV this Festive Season.
