Looks like the seasonal warmth was short-lived. We are expecting 15-25cm of snow tonight.
I want to drive to Newcastle on M5 M42 Ma A1.. It is very difficult to get accurate info on state om motorways so if any of you live on or near this route, what do you think of my chances. Leaving Exeter on M5. Many thanks.
Quickbeam, I told you the snow was really deep, can you not see the West Highland White Terrier in the middle of the road? ;o}}
Last night, I took the Taxi off the road when the temperatures reached -5'C.
-6'C is, I believe, the temperature at which salted roads start to freeze
A granddaughter, boyfriend and dog booked , some time ago,a log cabin for this weekend in the Forest of Dean. All the travel advice is not to travel in that area (red warning, schools closed. She tried to get the company to agree a postponement but they said "If we are open" she will lose the money she had to pay in advance - the whole fee. I hope, using a mixture of persuasion and implying Small claims court they will relent. As usual their Terms and Conditions are in their favour. Any tips? Apparently the Facebook page for the company is alive with similar complaints. Is force majeure applicable?
Thanks got the links John, I think I may have to postpone !
Spring is back on again; the thaw has started here.
Why all the fuss about sleeping in the train luggage rack? Such behaviour was perfectly normal for servicemen in the 30s, as was removing the light bulb.
