Google Street Map – our office

Snow Day!
The clock reads ten to ten. I’m late for work. I put this down to blizzard-like – ney, apocalyptic – quantities of snow! The 5 minute walk to work was a near-death experience – people glanced fearfully from curtained windows, cars slewed along the streets and Lucifer himself was stood…
