Don't eat the yellow snow

caddymanWhere is everyone today? Is there a holiday that I am unaware of, or has everyone in the UK decided to become honorary Americans and celebrate Thanksgiving? The train to Stratford was empty, the tube between Stratford and Westminster was barely populated and Westminster itself largely deserted. It was only as I walked toward Victoria that crowd numbers came even close to normal.
More to the point, I want to know what happened to the snow that we were promised. Large chunks of the rest of the country are getting it, why not us? Just enough to justify a long weekend, please. I’m not greedy. We have the chilly, lazy winds, the ground is dry so snow would stick, but it does not arrive. If we are having an early winter I want my share.
In other news, Lloyds Bank is crap. You can’t change your address online, which I guess is fair enough, since it could be hacked, but when you ask them to send you a form to register the change of address for a credit card, all you get is a form to change your address on your bank account.
I don’t have a Lloyds bank account. I suppose I’ll have to check a recent bill tonight to see if there’s a place on the back to register new details. So much for the easy way…
