    If you are unsure at all and I do mean AT ALL then do your no claim
    bonus a favour and go down the pub after work and have 2 large scotches.
    Then you can leave the bike with a clean conscience and nobody here
    would dare call you a fucking wuss, which is what you and a lot of them
    actually are but we won't mention it because you had a good enough
    excuse. OK?

    Similar here.

    Was watching Sky News half an hour or so ago, the journalist broadcasting
    from live outside 10 Downing St was getting absolutely snowmanned under the
    falling snow, he looked most uncomfortable.

    Hmmm thinks I, as the crow flies tis not even 7 miles to Downing Street from
    here.

    Looks out of window. No snow. No rain. How odd. Particularly given how heavy
    the snow was falling in Downing Street.

    At 17:15 it started to rain.

    By just after 17:20 the rain had turned to snow.

    Before 17:30 there was a hefty dusting of it covering the cars, roads,
    grass, etc.

    It's still coming down thick and fast... woo hoo... could be snowman time
    tomorrow :)

    Ah, the thunder & lightning just started.

    TF I don't have to drive anywhere.

    Sympathies for those of you who do.

    Had snow for two days here in Durham!

    Bloody southern wussies.

    I suspect it's worse further north.

    Serves you right for living up there, say I. We pay extra here in
    civilisation to avoid this sort of crap. I shall write to the Met Office
    and complain.

    No don't bother, I'll save you the trouble, the weather meter is just on the
    corner of my street, I'll go and shovel a few bob-shillings into it in a mo.

    It fucking was too. One and a half *fucking* hours to get from Staples
    corner to Junction 5 on the M1.

    Mind you, I didn't drop the bike unlike the poor sod on the dullsville
    I spoke to.

    And it was here and back there.
    It was. Sometimes that extra wheel comes in handy. And sometimes the
    extra bulk doesn't.



    SO is still making her way home.

    Not surprised, mate.
    At least you don't tip over so easily. Fun coming up to a give way
    line though, I expect.
    I'm not surprised about that either - apparently all the roads are
    solid packed snow that has now turned into ridged polished ice.
    Walking pace is the order of the day.

    Made it! been 'driving' since 4pm!
    Managed to surprise Mercedes A class driver in front of me by leaping
    from my car and running round the front of my car for a piss (well I
    am pregnant).
    I am 3/4 way down 'medicinal' brandy that Otter thoughtfully poured
    me. Just about calm enough to type.
    _NOT_ going to work tomorrow!

    yep. took me the standard 20 mins to get from Welwyn Garden City to
    Luton and then I sat in Luton for an hour with nothing moving.

    in the end I drove it into Luton Parkway station carpark and got a
    train to Flitwick.
