UK preparing to pretend they can’t get to work as snow approaches

[dipsydoodle]

UK workers are planning a fun-filled long weekend as weather forecasters have revealed that significant snowfall will provide workers everywhere with a highly plausible reason for not going to work.

Northern and Eastern parts of the UK are expected to bear the brunt of the wintry conditions, leading to some office workers in Leeds using their lunch breaks to let down the tyres of council gritters and empty salt supplies into the nearest drain.

People from southern and western parts of the UK are determined not to miss out on a few free days off, and have revealed the planning in place to ensure they take advantage of even the briefest of snow flurries.

“I’ve saved a picture on my phone from last year that shows me walking my dog in thick snow, ” revealed customer service administrator Gareth Jones.
