Quite a bit around nottingham, less closer to Gaydon, A46 was two tramlines with to many slow muppets on it!

Things have changed overnight, most schools in Sheffield closed today, which means I have an interfering wife to cope with today. I'll have to invent loads of stuff to do to prove how busy I am while she's at work.

Funny how schools close nowadays but they can still go out and play in the snow.

When I was thirteen, I walked 2 and a half miles in drifting snow and finally arrived at theschool at 10 ( where it was raining). I got a caning. All day I hoped for early closure. No chance.

Snow doubled the amount of time it took me to get to school.


One morning, one of my class arrived after the class started at 10:30, having walked from Rainham. Just after his teeth stopped chattering, it was announced we were being sent home. Neil's grasp of Anglo-saxon impressed the English teacher, who was well known for his ability to express himself

Yes, but horses and carts were better at getting about than modern vehicles.

And we have just had a director moaning that he had to get somebody to hold the bonnet open to top the washer fluid up............when it had 50mm of snow on it

I'd have waited till his hands were well and truly under there and..........BAM!

There's a group of 60 children been on a residential at a camp site all week in rural south Sheffield. There's a zoom going on in the kitchen, about fifteen women trying to work out how to extricate them. I'm dying to....... no, better not

Horse and cart? 

As far as I can see (and I've been our for a quick drive) all the main roads are pretty clear. Unfortunately, this camp site is up a long, narrow country lane, and a tree has fallen over halfway down it. I suggested, as long as they have food and water, leaving them there till the snow clears up. But, apparently, that's against their human rights

We have a solution. A local farmer has agreed to shift the tree, and the coach company will send a minibus along with the coach. The coach will wait at the bottom of the lane while the minibus ferries the kids to it. Farmer is standing by to help should minibus get stuck. Education eh? It's not the same job it used to be.

They could remove the tree the old fashioned way: by using the labour of lots of people. Character building is an old fashioned phrase too.


Not that any of this matters in England in early March where it can snow at the beginning of the week and we can be seriously considering shorts and t-shirts for the weekend.

I hope they have enough bubble wrap and cotton wool to protect them during transfer

Apparently they're going to anaesthetise them 
They'll leave the campsite and wake up on the bus

After yesterday’s monsoon the little bit of snow we had here this morning came to nothing. It’s very windy though, the motorbike cover was making a bid for freedom until I roped it down.
