herthab mentioned on Facebook this morning that he got rear ended twice on the M27.
Should've stayed at home.
Those banned Shrewbury gays now down in the Hampshire area? |

Most people are fucking idiots and have no idea how much grip they lose in snow. Spoke to my old dear earlier who said she was following 2 cars onto a roundabout. She slowed down (in her 4x4) and both cars carried on, oblivious to the conditions, understeered in a straight line, mounted the curb and smashed into each other. That'll learn 'em. |

I was surprised at the amount of delivery drivers/HGV's out on the roads. Shocked that the 'foreign' ones bombing along at 50mph in the outside lane on the 419.
They're not fucking clueless and are used to a bit of snow. Take note. |

TO be fair the roads are far worse than I imagined. Lots of cars wheel spinning, gridlock from Moredon->Thamesdown drive. Glad I didn't bother trying to get in now.
My friend was stuck on Thamesdown Drive for 2 hours. Apparently there's loads of abandoned cars and the bridge going across to West Swindon at the top has now been shut. |

My mum has told me a story of Yugoslavia in the 80's. One winter there was snow non-stop for 4 months. At some stages there was about 10 foot of it, what did people do? Dig trenches and carry on with their lives. (Some people died when the trenches caved in but that's completely beside the point)
Last winter my grandad almost froze to death on his way home, he got stuck in the snow and there was there about an hour or so, -15. He was saved by a local stray dog which alerted people to him. This dog is a demi-god in his neighourhood now.

I told my mum not to bother driving to work and walk the 2.5 miles it takes. The lazy bitch didn't take my advice and is now stuck at the bottom of our hill. That'll teach her!!!

From the station at Colchester
To the cells of Warrington
From the services at Leicester
To the slums of Northampton
We travel over England
And one day Europe too
Cos we all follow the Swindon
We're the famous Town End crew.

You are all microcosmic examples of our society's intolerance to snow.
