Oh, the horror! Five employees and two patrons were stranded at Lion Inn in North Yorkshire, England due to heavy snow. The inn is also a bed-and-breakfast, equipped with plenty of food, telephone and internet service, and alcohol. Chef Daniel Butterworth told of the harrowing ordeal.
Rescue came when snowplows finally broke through and the road was officially open by Saturday night. Link -via Arbroath
At first the staff, all aged under 25, got stuck into the drinks, he said, but on the third day they eased off.
"We haven't been getting ratty," he said. "It's been fun and we have had a laugh.
"We have been getting on with little jobs, having our tea, a drink, playing games and then going to bed.
"The bosses aren't here, they are snowed out.
"We have wireless internet here and the television works so we have been fine."
During the day, the couple and staff managed to get out onto the snow on improvised sledges made from beer trays.

Sounds like rescue might have been a disappointment. ;)

Well at least there weren't any flesh-eating zombies to contend with.

I bet they'll also stock up on card games and board games in case this happens again next year.
