Snowed in at a pub for 8 days

[Swede]

That sounds awful. Just awful.


A couple and five staff spent eight days trapped inside one of Britain's highest pubs because of heavy snow.

The Lion Inn at Blakey Ridge, near Kirkbymoorside, North Yorkshire, was cut off since Friday last week, as 20ft (6.1m) of snow drifted against the pub.

4. "...got stuck into the drinks, he said, but on the third day they eased off."

:rofl: Haven't heard that phrase before.

Sounds like it could be a fun escape, as long as you didn't lose your job or have to pay a week of overtime to the babysitter afterward...

6. yeah, if you had people at home to take care of, that could be a problem

otherwise, might be fun for a few days- but 8 could get a bit old.

8. I would take advantage of that situation.

I'd go on an eight day binge drinking spree.
