We had our Ration on Thursday evening.   I ventured out this morning and just about got up the No sign to me that any grit/slat spreading has taken place other than on the bus routes.  (Why do I bother paying council tax?) 

Saw one house where the owner is going to be a bit miffed.   Some jerk obviously forgot to break and went straight on at a T Junction and took out the guys fence.  Possibly more I was too busy watching my own progress to observe further damage.

So much for global warming.

Up to two feet of the white stuff in some parts of the country. Here, about half a centimeter and I couldn't care less, makes traffic a hell of a lot easier.
I have given up on being on facebook and myspace, I kept mixing them up and invited people to come on Myface!

By sound of it you were lucky.  You could have been on Eurostar. 
What a fiasco.   They interviewed he suggested that there is more to this than meets the eye.

I think you're on to something.

The snow did seem to keep most of the whimps at home on Friday, and you don't buy a Landrover to leave it on the drive on days like that, when you can test the traction control for once

Sometimes you have to leave them on the drive because the roads are clogged up by the beemers that have been abandoned by owners that knew they hadn't got a hope in hell of reaching their destination before they left home. A bit like my missus.

I see the french military must be in charge, as they've surrendered till Tuesday.

The wife tells me that she and the Dutch are suffering.  You can't get cut flowers for love nor money at the minute, and there must be thousands of Dutch lorries at Calais full of rotting daffs
