I went out for food last night - absolutely bugger all grip but the journey would have been fine if it weren't for all the abandoned BMWs (and that's not a slight on BMWs - I also have one! - but every abandoned car was, indeed, a BMW); one of which meant I had to stop half way up the fairly steep hill to our house.. for a minute I didn't think I was going to be able to get going again afterward. FWD no likey..
Other than that, though, the traffic was moving pretty well (albeit at 15mph, which was about right for the conditions as you certainly couldn't steer or stop when going any faster) - maybe because half the population of Northampton is Polish, and that was the half that was still driving
(they're used to it, after all!)
