Guest WDP Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 took me an extra 20 minutes to get to work. Took forever getting out the industrial estate last night though. Think I'll just stay in work for a little be longer tonight before leaving. Do you work on that industrial park right on the coast? Over the don and a mile south? Beside Portlethen. Used to work beside the airport and that was a nightware when there was snow. remember last year everyone just headed the to pub when they got told to go home at 1pm. Think it was Altens where we were visiting a few clients. Was July last year and was glorious weather in Newcastle and up through Glasgow the next day, was like that for days, soon as we got to Stonehaven was like the film "The Fog", and it was like that for two days, till we got past Stonehaven on the way back and it was nice again. Stayed in a place called "Boddam", I've heard Finland is the number one suicide country in the world per head, I tell you what, that place Boddam has to be number one in this country, never been anywhere as bleak and drab in my life, fuckin freezin in July, I can only imagine how cold it is there now, mind it's nee Bahamas here today like.
