Just the lightest of dusting here in the midlands.

Bit grey here today. Down to 18 degrees. Not much risk of snow in NZ at the mo. Nearly needed a jumper earlier though.

This was the end of our road looking down the hill. MrsA has a friend over and they smashed through 4 bottles of wine last night so I have totally amped the kids up about going sledging then left for work.

Did you report those aliens marching down the kerb to the authorities?

Snowy train!

Warhead · Noob as of 6/8/10

Just a light dusting in Manchester. The forecast is already wrong as it said we weren’t expecting snow today, but it’s just started to fall. Looks very pretty in the sunshine.

Currently waiting for my boss to pick me up for an all-day meeting in Wolverhampton. Although, ideally waiting for someone to call the meeting off as it seems nuts to travel in this weather.

KovacsC · **Posted:** Thu Mar 01, 2018 10:03

I am working from home as, sod the snow

Happy World Book Day!

My kids went as Winnie from the Demon Dentist and The Highway Rat.

I see THE ASDAS have cashed in on it all now with WBD outfits for lazy parents.

Happy world book day!

Mine went as the Queen of Hearts and Little Red Riding Hood.

There were a lot of super heroes at school this morning. Tsk.

I'm going to go ahead and say that TheVision didn't mean to lock the thread.

Mr Dave · **Posted:** Thu Mar 01, 2018 10:36

I think he did.

ZOMG Admin abuse

I like cock.

Mine went as Hermione, arrived at school and was told WBD had been cancelled.

Fuckers.

Surely 'Frozen' would be more appropriate? Arf.

My kids were Harry Potter and Malificent. I haven't seen them yet as I had to leave for work.

Even though we were prepared, I was still in THE ASDAS at 10pm last night because could I fuck find that bastard hogwarts cape anywhere. None left in stock, so he's got a plain grey v-neck instead. Close enough!

Grim... · **Posted:** Thu Mar 01, 2018 11:00

That's because every motherfucker went as Harry Potter.

This is the view from my home office. Don't think anyone will be playing bowls today.

I forgot it was World Book Day, so the number of children walking to school with tails freaked me out a little today.

When you ban superheros, it limits your options. Especially when you let the little fuckers choose.

I don't think 'Where's Wally' counts either. There's very little actual story, or indeed text.

For some reason my kid's school are celebrating WBD tomorrow (well, I hope so, otherwise I'll have two really fucking disappointed kids later) but I have a sneaky feeling they'll close the school if the snow forecast is right. If that's the case, the massive blazing row I had with my daughter on Tuesday about her bloody costume will be all the more frustrating.

They've just sent texts out to say it's postponed til next week. ?:|

It's on a hill, so either you have a massive slope or a stepped effect like this.

My son was doing this on Friday, and my wife forgot until last night

The school set a theme for his class which is Fairy tales, he randomly told us last night that he wanted to be a bear from Goldilocks.

We have a good party shop at the bottom of the road with a bear costume in stock so plan was to buy that today.

However his school was closed today, they also said that even if they open tomorrow all dress up is cancelled so we got away with it!

World book day is a bit random, some peoples kids I know can go in there pyjamas and others can go in Scout or Brownie uniforms.

Just that it was snowy. She still went in dressed as Hermione, she was too excited by her outfit not to.

Similarly, they sent out a text saying it was a Snow Day at 8am on Tuesday. Then followed up at 9.30 saying the school was now open. Mini Fop stayed at home - you can't dangle a snow day in front of a child then whisk it away again. Verging on abuse.

This is the first time my son (4.5) has seen snow! He is off, but I have to be in work today as my CIO is over for a visit

Mine has gone as a book, because of course he has.

"Technically correct!"

Put jumpers on your kids. Knitting books are full of jumpers.

You know who else is in a book? Literally Hitler. See if you could dress your kid up like Adolf and get away with it

Granddaughter has gone as Winnie th Witch, complete with multi-coloured cat.

Draw a horse shoe on their forehead and send them in as Emily Pankhurst

I feel sorry for any kids dressed as Adam and Eve today.

You’re just being silly.

Having said that, if you Google ‘inappropriate WBD costumes’ there have been quite a few contentious ones over the years.
