I was going to build a snowman
Posted: Tue Apr 08, 2008 4:59 pmWe have had some rather random snow in the UK and many people built snowmen.
I also thought about constructing a non-gender specific snow person but I did have a few reservations since it might have been interpreted as offensive to persons with no arms, no legs, with a carrot for a nose or eyes made of coal.
Also, the snow was not available in a wide enough range of colours to enable me to accurately represent a cross section of the community, but I desided to press ahead anyway.
However, by the time I had donned the required personal protective equipment, grippy boots, insulated safety gloves, hi-vis clothing, erected the barriers necessary to cordon off the proposed construction site to ensure a safe working area, filled in a risk assessment, method statement and cold working certificate..... the snow had melted! :(
