The last time they were on strike...so probably last week in Ralphyland.
Prior to that, I think one or two depots had a delay during the Blitz...
 I wouldn't want to be delivering post today,hope Ralph, Leggett et al are sat at home in the warm like me. A fair blanket of the white stuff here in Bassett,any excuse for me to wear my very neglected wellies is always good.Hope its gone by the weekend though. |

The rain has washed what was left away. All back to normal here, doubt it would settle if we got anymore.

15 to 20 cm here.
Its great fun driving, handbrake turns et al!
Driving like an idiot in snow is the shizzam. My mate used to work at Po Na Nas and one night i picked him up around 4am and there was shit loads of snow on all the roads and nobody about, so we thought we'd have some fun. We nicked a for-sale sign and drove up the RAF camp in Wroughton. The roads were all wide and completely covered in a fair few inches of snow. We tied a rope on the back of my car and we drove around the roads at about 40 mph (getting a fair bit sideways at times) towing him on the for-sale sign! We then went into wroughton and drove the length of Perry's lane, up Wharf road and into the Ellendune, where i drove round for ages. We then came out of the Ellendune and drove back around past the Three tuns, again onto Perry's lane. I think we had about 3-4 hours of crazy jackass style fun. It was sooper and pretty surreal to be driving on public roads while towing your mate.  |

My investment in winter 'grabber' tyres during the summer for my forester is paying dividends today, got from Compton Bassett to Swindon in 20 minutes before the rush hour started with some nice power slides on the way in.... yeeeeehaaaah

What happened to snow chains? When I were a lad and snow was much more common, people used to clear the street in front of their houses and drivers used to whack chains on their tyres.
If you knew an elderly person in the street, then the old man would dispatch you with brush and shovel to clear their approaches.
