I'd like to be snowed in, but in all the years I've been working here, I've never yet not made it to work because of the weather. I've taken several hours to get here on some occasions, and have had to leave early to avoid being snowed in, but I've always turned up.

It's not so much dedication to the job as bloody-mindedness, to be honest! I start out and I've got to make it all the way or I've failed.

Yet some of my colleagues, who live in the city, nary a mile from campus, would not appear on those days "because the buses were off".

They could have bloody walked.

Walking through snow in May - would that have been 1975 by any chance?
