Yep, and London is coming to a halt. The trains are unable to move and the busses are trapped and those that aren't are not moving out the garages. The wheels of business are skidding as social services and everyone who works for councils are told to stay at home - oh wait - that's tomorrow.

Thanks all... have a gas fire, oil filled heater kindly loaned by neighbours and a little fan heater cranked up high, but they're just not cutting it on a day like today.


I've been having to boil water (which I'm proud to say I did without having to refer to the thread explaining how to do it) which is a good excuse to have the hob fired up, and it certainly helps to warm up the kitchen.


Who's idea was it to live in a draughty Victorian house?!

this is the one I am analysing http://french.wunderground.com/data/wximagenew/c/charlesimages/748.jpg


mmmmm... beautiful





ps global warming increases extremities in all types of weather.....

a thorough analysis of snow drops is very important. The result can help determine whether there will be journey delays, can help decide to use snow chains or not, what boots to wear and also whether it's worth trying to get into work. Brum and Brendan seem to be highly qualified in the subject and one of them should email the weather man with the technical analysis. He definitely needs help.

What is it with this country? I've lived in Dumfriesshire and we muddled through and got with life but an inch of snow in London and it falls apart. Met office has said for last 5 days this was going to happen and what the hell has local government done????????? Grrrrrrrrrrrrr

It's taken my missus over 90mins to get Sth Kensington when it normally takes 45 mins, why??? It really does infuriate us Northerners

I also noticed this autumn that my trains were delayed due to 'adverse seasonal conditions'. I guessed that noone will ever dare utter 'leaves on the line' again.


Weirdly my commute was absolutely fine this morning but there are only about four people in the office. I think people like to use the snow as a bit of an excuse!!

    • The Commons Public Accounts Committee questioned both the CEO and MD of Capita yesterday, at their last meeting before the recess:  https://committees.parliament.uk/event/25889/formal-meeting-oral-evidence-session/.  In October they'd already expressed concern that Capita might not  be able to efficiently retake over responsibility for the administration within the timescale. Given the joint statement recently issued by Capita and the Cabinet Office I'm not sure that contacting an MP is going to add much, other than venting what I think most of us can probably appreciate of what those affected are likely  to be thinking and feeling; unless perhaps, and I hope it's not needed, to report on deficiencies in the immediate rescue actions.
    • She's responded, but I'm sure I read something in the Guardian consumer advice column. Might be some pointers if you're stuck
    • Two for Ratcliffe, the obvious one:   And one simply because it has the word  "You are nothing but blind fascists" in it.  Oh and a good song too.   Haven't listened to this for years.  Bloody good!
    • It's time to ditch your team, otherwise you could be seen to supporting your owners dog whistle comments (aka racist). Fortunately you can support a local team, I understand that Palace have pretty right on fans, and you have Dulwich Hamlet and Peckham Town too. If you genuinely are from the North West then Everton fans are well rated for their politics (ignore the paving over paradise/loss of UNESCO world heritage status), and of course FC United of Manchester. Salford Town not a bad bet either. For those who are glory hunters dare I say over the river in the North London library aka Emirates (shame they don't rhyme) you have both the likelihood of a title this season and a very multicultural fan base. If you want to be really cool the Welsh speaking team Club Cymric, Forest Green Rovers, or AS Livorno in Italy, an anti-fascist team
