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

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!!

    • I’ve been happily with them for donkeys years but my recent experience has been a bit shocking. Clinical staff have been great (if you can get an appointment) but apparently the Practice has a ‘new system’ in place. You can’t phone for an appointment, you have to go ‘on the app’ and request one. GP will review the request at some unspecified point and decide whether to offer you an appointment . My experience of using the app hasn’t been good and I’m a bit horrified that folk can no longer arrange appointments by phone or by walking in. I’ve also had them lose referral forms, and had to chase them multiple times over a simple GP letter. This has never been my experience in the past so it’s alarming. Anyway, I’ve asked to be included in the Patient Participation Panel, so I’m interested in the experience of others, good & bad? Feel free to PM me, if you prefer!
    • I miss milkmen. It was the sign of a good night out if you met one on the way home. But could quality produce, in 100% recyclable packaging and home-delivered by zero emission electric vehicles really catch on these days? They should bring back the Corona pop man, as well.  
    • Based on what I’ve seen, you can get yogurt in small glass jars from milkman now if you miss those.  Butter and bread is also available.  One of the dairies has fresh bread from a bakery in Brockley, but that bakery also do their own deliveries which I had been thinking of trying.
    • Of course you also had lot's of local diaries. My grandmother had a job as a milkmaid in Camberwell when she was young!
