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!!

    • Another shout out for Milk & More - their app allows you to alter the order, add or subtract to it and also to schedule holiday stops without having to leave messages in bottle - so more secure. You do have to set up a direct debit with them, but I haven't had any problems with that myself. I have had one or two missed or late deliveries in several years, but not really a problem - only very occasional and caused mainly by delivery-person illness. And very much feels like an old-fashioned milk delivery. They do special seasonal offers as well. More expensive than the cheapest of the super market milk prices, but for that its at your door, fresh and no bother.
    • Enjoying the nostalgia and memories.  As with others, we get ours through Milk and More (is part of big co, so there is that against it, but it's hardly a secret/niche thing) - returnable glass bottles of milk, orange juice, yoghurt, and much more besides (as per the name). And yes it comes in the middle of the night in an electric vehicle. So can still get out nostalgia fix, doubled when the Riverford chap comes too. 
    • This sounds like what goes on at Tessa Jowell GP surgery as well as others.   If you can flag yourself up as a ‘vulnerable’ patient or one that can’t use Apps for whatever reason etc then you can usually make appts by phone. They would have to make allowances. Quote the Equality Act 2010,  reasonable adjustments section.
    • Its part of a change all Doctor surgery's are undergoing.  The goverment want to stop the 8am scramble for an appointment, and its not just restricted to the Gardens. Sadly, it does impact some who are not digitally savy.
