Snow joke

As I type, the snow is still falling and my wet socks are steaming on the radiator behind me. Predictably, cars have been abandoned on the motorways, schools have shut and – and this is my favourite – supermarkets are running out of milk and bread. But what I’d like to know is why do the media always insist on reporting such facts knowing it will lead to even more panic buying of, er, milk and bread…?! And why does no one ever panic buy wine? (apart from me, of course).

Anyway, here at Bell Towers we have no such worries, as the milkman duly delivered our weekly supplies on Monday morning and, owing to a few weather-enforced staff absences, we’ve got plenty to keep us going (so feel free to pop round if you’d like to share our semi-skimmed…)

In fact, I’ve taken the opportunity to do a quick inventory of the contents of our fridge (should we all have the misfortune to get snowed in). As well as the milk, I can confirm it also contains the following:

* Two cans of diet cola
* One-third of a bottle of pinot grigio (no doubt left over from last year’s Christmas party)
* A bottle of alcoholic ginger beer
* A squeezy bottle of tomato ketchup
* A squeezy bottle of mustard mayonnaise (?)

Hmm, not sure what that says about the staff of Bell Publishing, but it tells me one very important thing: Be sure never to get snowed in at work!
