No snow here on Romney Marsh... but last week when we had snow, we had the busiest day for months as we were the only ones running here! Lucky we had winter tyres fitted a few months ago. :D

That is so awful.....I feel so guilty at not sharing your Snow/Freezing weather!! We had a day of sunshine and NO central heating on - well!! not until about 17.00 ish .....so unfair :roll:

We also had to put up with all day about the WELSH RUGBY team :roll: who played some unfortunate team off of the park - just so boring :roll: and the sunshine to deal with as well - aint life a bitch :lol:..................look on the bright side of life - you did not get the wooden spoon :wink:

I bet she has her own car but wanted you to take all the risk - for a couple of quid. :lol:

She normally walks everywhere, only calls a cab when the weather is bad, I am not going to risk my cab for no one in this weather, even if I had winter tyres on
