I got up this morning at 7am looked out the window and the roads were just about clear, went back to bed, got up again just after 9am and there was 3" of fresh snow outside.  Got three jobs on tomorrow and one is in the middle of nowhere!!!

Just heard on the radio that the A1086, which is our main road north-south has been closed and we're on the coastline, hate to think what it's like further inland.

Instead of a day at the shops we've spent it taking down all the Christmas decorations instead.

We had a surprise flurry of snow yesterday morning.  Think it caught thegritters by surprise coz they were nowhere to be seen and the roads were as slippy as hell.  Only about a inch fell though.  Clear bluesky here in Birmingham so think its gonna be a cold night.

No I dont but even if its not snowing I dont want to go that way. I hate that traffic.

I assume you are from chatham somewhere abouts.

I have sold my 4x4 l200 and looking urgently for a van now so even more useless.

Luckily my contracts have all the equipment is on site. I will be using my Jaguar tomorrow.

Len,

Possibly I was enhancing my status somewhat when I used the possessive verb "we've", I actually meant was, I went into the loft and got the boxes down then put then back again when they were filled! :D

Wow, you dont mind the traveling then Pete.

I dont envy you there.

Maybe if you dont mind the traveling, if I get work I could pass it on to you Pete. Or maybe you rather I not do that.

I dont really know any carpet cleaners.
Except one that has a TM and I wouldnt say I think he is wonderful.

Its not been that bad over in Nort Wales but the tmp is down to minus 3 at the moment and still dropping. I think it will be our coldest night yet.
I will have to go and put the heater in the van now. :(
